About this race

The Silent Wings Museum provides the perfect backdrop to “imagine” your run taking you out of this world. Willie McCool was the Pilot of the Space Shuttle Columbia (January – February 2003), a graduate of Lubbock’s Coronado High School (1979) and loved running. His legacy will inspire runners, both old and new and we are proud and honored to dedicate this race to his memory.

Join fellow runners on October 10, 2026 for the McCool Academy 1 Mile. It's a fantastic 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Lubbock.
