About This Race
The Amelia Earhart Fun Run/Walk celebrates aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart as part of the annual Amelia Earhart Festival in her hometown of Atchison, Kansas. Participants choose between a challenging 8K course with hills to test training or a family-friendly 2K route that is mostly flat with one uphill and downhill section. Starting and finishing at the Atchison Family YMCA, this chip-timed event attracts families and runners of all abilities. After the race, participants can enjoy the festival's aviation-themed activities including vintage aircraft displays, aerobatic performances, downtown music, food vendors, and fireworks show.
