“We are excited that we are still finding a way to connect with our participants,” said Brandon Hough, Air Force Marathon director.  “We encourage all of our registered participants to go for a run on any of the areas wonderful 350 miles of interconnected trails and swing by before or after to get their gear!”

In the event participants are unable to attend the scheduled pick-up times, authorization forms are available at www.usafmarathon.com/2021-packet-pick-up.

Authorization forms will allow a trusted representative to pick-up a packet in the place of the participants. This form should be completed and must be presented with a copy of the virtual participants ID, in addition to the authorized persons ID. Representatives who do not have these three items will not be permitted to pick up a virtual participants race packet.

In the event both the participant and representative are unable to pick the packet up on the designated days, it will be mailed to the participant in October.
