All registered runners receive a technical shirt and goodie bag. Everyone who finishes a race also gets a medal celebrating this year’s featured aircraft, the KC-46 Pegasus. Medals are presented at the finish line by Air Force senior leaders. All races begin and end at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, except the 5K, which takes place on the campus of Wright State University.

The Air Force Marathon is a Boston Marathon qualifying event, and the course goes past a number of historic landmarks including Huffman Prairie, where the Wright brothers developed the world’s first practical airplane.

The 2019 Air Force Marathon is presented by Northrop Grumman, USAA and Boeing and is scheduled for Sept. 21. The Sports & Fitness expo is scheduled for Sept. 19-20. The Breakfast of Champions is scheduled for Sept. 20 from 8 to 10 a.m. and the Gourmet Pasta Dinner is scheduled for Sept. 20, starting at 5:30 p.m.
