About Air Race Classic

Air Race Classic, Inc. runs the Air Race Classic, a cross-country air race for women pilot teams. The site calls it the centre of women's air racing. Pilots range in age from 17 to over 90, and come from many backgrounds, including airline pilots and air traffic controllers.

The site says race teams must include at least two women pilots. Teams must fly VFR during daylight hours only. They have four days to make flybys at each en route timing point and then land at the terminus. The route is about 2,400 statute miles long, with 8 or 9 timing points, and it changes each year.

The site lists the 2027 race for June, with the start in Auburn, Alabama. Its race details cover the stops, the route map and the racer list. The site also lists top team winners, available awards and race results from 2026, including the 49th Air Race Classic.

The site lists education and youth events, an intercollegiate program and an FAA regulations and flight rules resource. It also lists the ARC Air Derby and the AWTAR Powder Puff Derby.

The site describes how people can get involved. These include entering the race, team and airplane registration, buying a race number and volunteering. Organizations can host a start, stop or terminus. The site also lists sponsorship, donations, a silent auction, a photo gallery and an ARC store.

The site notes that women's air racing began in 1929. It has a history of air racing section and a 1962 Flying Magazine article. The site has a contact page and lists Facebook, X, Instagram and YouTube as social channels. It does not show a phone number or a street address.
