Fairborn Flyer 15K & 5K (fka Gem City Classic)

Why run the Fairborn Flyer 15K & 5K? Set on the beautiful campus of Wright State University just off the 675 freeway, the route is fast and scenic as it traverses down wide bike paths and into Huffman Prairie for a loop around the birthplace of aviation.

The Fairborn Flyer 15K & 5K will be the final race in the Miami Valley Race Series, which includes the Crossroads 5K, the Historic Germantown 8K, and the Brook Mills 10K! The race takes place on the Main Campus of Wright State University where it takes participants on a beautiful loop out to Huffman Prairie (a national park) before returning to campus. The first 5K of the course is all downhill followed by a flat middle 5K, but what goes down must come up and so will you on the final 5K!

This race also includes beautiful finisher medals, handmade awards, free race photos, great food at the finish, and a live DJ to keep the energy high. This will be the fall race you don’t want to miss!
