🏃♀️🚁 GET TO THE CHOPPER 5K! 🚁🏃♂️
We’re excited to invite you to run—or walk!—with us at the Get to the Chopper 5K in support of ECHO’s FAST and Safety Teams.
Every step helps support the teams working to care for flight crews and advance safety throughout public safety aviation. Whether you’re racing for a PR, walking with friends, or just coming out to support the cause, this event is for YOU!
⏱️ Chip Timing
Professional chip timing will provide accurate results for every participant—whether you’re chasing a new personal best or simply enjoying the course.
🚁 Come for the 5K. Stay for the helicopters!
Weather permitting, we’ll have a helicopter on site during the race for participants to check out.
And don’t head home when you cross the finish line! Stick around for the Helicopter Happy Hour from 5:00–8:00 PM, featuring more aircraft, food, drinks, and time to connect with the public safety aviation community.
Run it. Walk it. Support the mission. Then stay and enjoy the aircraft!
