The 17th Annual United States Air Force Marathon will be held Sept. 21, 2013, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.

Air Mobility Command will again sponsor an active-duty team comprised of both male and female runners representing various age groups to compete in the full marathon. Team members will be selected based upon the submission of an AF Form 303.

Completed forms should be submitted through the Grand Forks AFB Fitness Center by May 1, 2013. Those selected will be notified by HQ AMC/A1 and placed on permissive temporary duty status for the marathon.

In addition to the official AMC competitive team, all others interested in competing in the Air Force Marathon are encouraged to do so at their own expense.

Other events include a wheelchair division of the marathon (consisting of hand-cranked and push-rim divisions), half marathon, 10K, and 5K.

The USAF Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K are held on Sept. 21 and the 5K race is held on Sept. 20 at Wright State University.
