Flying Falcon Downhill Mile

October 10, 2026
Falcon Stadium Parking Lot 5
USAF Academy, CO 80840 US

Course Description

The race kicks off just east of Doolittle Hall with a smooth, straight half-mile stretch at a gentle -2.5% downhill grade which is perfect for settling into your stride. From there, the course takes a slight turn and drops into an exhilarating -6% downhill, giving you the momentum to really open up your pace. Nearly the entire route is straight, so tangents won’t be a concern aside from the midway turn. With the road fully closed to traffic and a cap of just 40 runners per wave, you’ll have plenty of space to run free, chase your goals, and set a new PR!
