Key Takeaways:

The 2024 Air Race Classic (ARC), an annual women's air race, will take place from June 18-21, covering 2,628 miles across 11 states from Carbondale, Illinois, to Loveland, Colorado.
Dating back to the 1929 Women's Air Derby, the ARC emphasizes piloting skill and aviation decision-making, with teams racing against their unique aircraft handicap rather than head-to-head speed.
The event is organized by an all-volunteer nonprofit, Air Race Classic Inc., dedicated to encouraging current and future female pilots and promoting women's roles in aviation.
