Air Force Marathon 10K
September 21, 2019
The United States Air Force Marathon is held on the third Saturday in September at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio. The Marathon was established in 1997 to celebrate the Air Force’s 50th anniversary.
The 23rd annual Air Force Marathon weekend kicked off on Friday evening with a 5K race at the Nutter Center. Saturdays events included a 10K, followed by the full and half marathon.
Fireworks on a dark and rainy morning preceded the 10K start at 6:30am. The 10K started on time just ahead of stormy weather which forced a delay to the full and half marathon start.
The Air Force Marathon is special to me because it was my first full Marathon. I am proud to live near the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, and participate in this race.
This year I completed my first Air Force 10K. I finished in 54:23, and placed 5th in my age group.
