Join the Festivities!

We are excited to announce that the Finish Line Festival and After Party have joined forces to create one unforgettable Finish Line Festival. To alleviate the stress and hassle of getting from one venue to another, both festivities will be held at the National Museum of the United States Air Force on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

The Finish Line Festival will officially begin once the first runner crosses the iconic finish line. Join family and friends as we celebrate the accomplishments of our runners with live music, food, refreshing beverages, and family-friendly fun.

As an added highlight, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will join us with an aircraft on the ground. Be sure to stop by the aircraft, see it up close, and capture a photo to remember the occasion.

The Finish Line Festival is free and open to the public. We look forward to celebrating the 30th Annual Air Force Marathon with you at the National Museum of the United States Air Force!
