Virtual Series 2025 - Air Force Marathon

The Air Force Marathon is proud to continue the History & Heritage Race Series in 2025! While the Air Force Marathon, held annually the third Saturday in September, always features active aircraft, the History & Heritage Race Series features retired aircraft in order to begin to highlight all of the great aircraft that have shaped the U.S. Air Force’s air power throughout history!

There will be six aircraft featured in 2025 with each aircraft revealed one at a time. The History & Heritage Race Series is a virtual race series which allows participants from all over the world to participate right from their home. You will have the option to choose to participate in the marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 5K. See detailed race information below.

Virtual Event Guidelines

You may run, walk, or run/walk your full distance wherever you want – around your neighborhood, on a treadmill, or any course of your choosing. Be sure to track your race with Strava, Garmin, Fitbit, or another GPS-tracking app that will confirm your mileage and time. After your race, we encourage you to upload your results to the results page although this step is not required to receive your amenities.
