This unique event, now in its 4th year, offers participants an exclusive opportunity to run on the historic Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, an installation with nearly 80 years of history.

The course is renowned for being flat and fast with minimal elevation change, providing an excellent chance to shatter personal records. Runners will traverse the airfield Perimeter Road, taxiways, and a 2.5-mile stretch of the active base runway, passing a breathtaking array of military aircraft, including F-35Cs, Marine F-18s, and the iconic retired Blue Angels C-130T "Fat Albert." The 10-mile route even takes you through the historic Hanger 1050, adding to the immersive military experience.

Runners praise the event as well-organized, with a distinct atmosphere thanks to its military base setting.
