RACE DETAILS

 

The Air Race Classic follows a different route every year. This the route honors colleges and universities which have a specialization in aviation. The race route is chosen to present challenges to the racers, provide a variety of learning opportunities, yet be within the endurance range of the slowest airplanes. In some cases, the route has the flyby timing location at one airport, while the Stop for fuel, refreshments and possible overnight stay is at another larger airport nearby.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Air Race Classic, this year has a bit of a theme for the route: The Collegiate Cross Country. Each waypoint has an aviation school nearby.
