Chapter Meetings & Events
Now through December 31, 2024 – 5K Virtual Walk-Run
Our goal is to promote aviation for women of all ages and backgrounds by providing aviation scholarships that assist with expenses related to learning to fly or to further one’s training.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE:
This event is open to anyone of any age, gender, and skill level that would like to contribute to the future of women pilots. You may complete the 5K Walk-Run anytime, anywhere, day or night. You may walk, jog, run, or any combination. You can complete the 5K in your own neighborhood, on a trail, on a treadmill, at the mall, or anywhere you choose. Everyone can participate regardless of skill level because you can split the 5K into smaller increments spread out over time or complete it all at once. You can chose to track or not track your 5K. It is about getting out there and moving while supporting aviation scholarships.
