Team Holloman is opening the gates and inviting our families and friends in Alamogordo and the surrounding areas to join us for an adrenaline-filled day of sportsmanship and competition.
Are you ready for it?
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, there is an event for everyone. Holloman Ace of Races offers four events: Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K and the Kids Dash. Join us and be a part of Holloman AFB’s Ace of Races marathon! All proceeds from the registration will be put towards the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation fund that benefits Holloman AFB Airmen and their families.
The course is nestled between the Sacramento Mountains and the glistening gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park, passing by points of Air Force history along the way. With only 52 to 65 feet of elevation gain, the race provides a uniquely flat course on paved roads, creating the perfect conditions for your first and/or fastest 26.2, 13.1 or 3.1 miler! With less than a mile to finish, run through our static aircraft and equipment on display, showcasing our unique mission. In a typical military cadence, the race ends with a “left, right, left” to closeout its last half mile.

It was windy and no protection from the elements. 13.1 miles out against the wall of wind. However, all the wind pushed you back on the second 13.1 miles.
Packet pick up should have been race morning due the low number of participants. However, day of race packet pick up was not offered. Runners from EL PASO had to make 2 trips just to get packages/bibs.
I have seen the 2024 REG and they are still requiring runners to pick package up before the race. The runners from EL PASO would have to make two 90 minute trips to complete packet pickup. I will definintely not return to this race based on this data.
