The first flight of the A-7 Corsair II took place 26 September 1965. The airframe would go on to serve in every major conflict from Vietnam to Desert Storm. Utilized by the US Navy, US Air Force, US Air National Guard, Portuguese Air Force, Thai Air Force, and Hellenic Air Force, the Corsair II was finally retired from service in 2014. To commemorate this aircraft's storied history and the sacrifice of those service members who flew and maintained the airframe throughout its 51 year history, the A-7 Corsair II Association (www.corsair2.us) is hosting its sixth annual virtual 5K run/walk. Funds raised from this event will be used to support the Association's goals including scholarships for America’s youth for various programs focusing on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, critical thinking, and of course, aviation. ✈️

A portion of the registration is tax deductible. If you have any questions, please contact the race director at A7C2RaceDirector@gmail.com.

As a virtual event, you'll be running on your own or with your own group, completing a 5K run or walk, or any other activity you deem comparable to a 5K run or walk. If you run or walk, you should record your time(s), and then post your time results on this site under "Results". If you'd like to provide photo's of your individual efforts, we would love to post them to our results site and on our Facebook Event. If you do provide photos you are agreeing to the use of your photo for this purpose.
