The Falcon 50 race series, founded in 2011, takes place on the Air Force Academy and is run throughout the Academy property. Most of the races are run on dirt trails with some sections where runners have the choice to run on a sectioned off portion of paved roads or on the dirt road shoulders. The course will take its participants through some of the most beautiful and challenging terrain the Academy has to offer. The course is extremely rugged and full of hills, including Three Bears. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
The ultramarathon is the great equalizer of races. Young, old, seasoned racer, or fresh to the starting blocks... in the end, it will be your determination above all else that gets you to the finish line. The 50 miles of the Falcon 50 Ultra course ensure that this event will be one of the toughest athletic challenges you can undertake on the Academy grounds.
Timing & Scoring will be conducted by CCR Timing via chip timing. The chip will be worn on the shoe. During the race, live results will be displayed on monitors located at the results tent.
All finishers will be awarded a finisher medal.
Male 50 Mile finishers under 9 hours and females under 11 hrs will be awarded the Falcon 50 Race Series Belt Buckle. Male Heavy Marathon finishers under 6.5 hours and females under 8.5 hours will also receive a Falcon 50 belt buckle. Additionally, all 50 Mile finishers will also receive a Falcon 50 patch (approved for A-Jacket use if applicable).
