The Air Force Marathon has been cancelled due to the pandemic, race will be held virtually

The 2020 Air Force Marathon events on Sept. 17-19 have been cancelled, due to COVID-19 social distancing orders.

Marathon organizers say the decision was made after conversations over the last two months with Air Force leadership and medical experts. They considered all possibilities to host an in-person event.

The marathon will be run virtually for those still wanting to participate.

"We simply cannot execute the marathon in a manner where the safety and security of our runners, volunteers, staff, partners, and spectators is satisfactorily achieved," explained Brandon Hough, Air Force Marathon director. "However, our team has worked hard to offer numerous options to registered participants to be as accommodating as possible."

For participants who are currently registered, the Air Force Marathon team has developed three options to choose from. Participants will be contacted via email with the necessary steps to take. The options include participating virtually, gifting the registration to an Airman for 2021, or deferring to a future year. Participants who have registered virtually will not need to take any action. For those who have yet to register, there is still time to sign up to participate in the virtual events.
