When you cross this
finish line, everyone wins.
On
Saturday, September 20th, 2008, thousands of runners from across the
globe will gather at Wright Patterson Air Force Base to participate in
the 12th annual United States Air Force Marathon. This event gives both
civilians and military employees the opportunity to celebrate the armed
forces at the largest Air Force Base in the continental United States.
For the second year, United Way of the Greater Dayton Area
has been
named an official charity sponsor for the USAF Marathon. In lieu of
paying the entry fee for the race, athletes can collect pledges on
behalf of United Way and our local network of health and human
services, or they can split those pledges between United Way and their
favorite partner agency. Over
6,000 athletes participated in the 2007 Marathon; please
join us in 2008 for an even bigger event as we spread our mission of
advancing the common good.
Registration
for the USAF Marathon is now closed.
Please join us on
September 19 and September 20 to cheer on your friends
as
they race for our community!
