Due to Covid-19 this race moved from an in-person race to a virtual or deferred race.

After reading about how great the course, support and the shirt was so COOL, I couldn't wait to run this race. Yes I was disappointed I couldn't run it this year but the plan is to run it next year.

AFM did a great job by giving runners 3 choices to choose from:

VIRTUAL RACE: Complete the marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, Tailwind Trot or Fly! Fight! Win! Challenge Series race virtually September 1-30 and receive your 2020 bib(s), medal(s), and race shirt(s). With this option, participants will also receive a 20% discount to any 2021 Air Force Marathon race.

GIFT AN AIRMAN: Registration may be gifted to a military member planning to participate in the 2021 marathon or half marathon. By selecting this option, participants will receive a 20% discount to any 2021 Air Force Marathon race.

DEFERRAL: Free deferral ($15 deferral fee waived) to Marathon race weekends scheduled for 2021, 2022, or 2023.

We received our money back for the pasta dinner in the US Air Force Museum and look forward to eating there next year.

I am looking forward to running this next year!
