In the summer of 2010, First Flight Alliance embarked on a mission to empower individuals to achieve the extraordinary—beginning with their first 5K. What started as a simple challenge blossomed into a vibrant community where members share their struggles, celebrate their triumphs, and uplift one another with words of encouragement.

Our dedication to fostering a healthier, stronger community gave rise to the Camp #runthistown series, guiding hundreds of beginners across their first finish lines. Beyond these initial milestones, we host a variety of races designed to be enjoyable experiences, offering opportunities for our members to participate in half and full marathons worldwide.

Proceeds from our races and marathon fundraising teams support our O.A.K. program, encouraging local youth to embrace active lifestyles. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, First Flight Alliance is committed to inspiring the first steps toward building a healthier, stronger community.

We are not just a running club; we are First Flight!
