3RD ANNUAL

The 3Rd Annual Space Force T-Minus 10-Miler will feature the Atlas Rocket. The featured rocket will be portrayed on the event’s official race shirts, finisher medals, commemorative patches, and more throughout 2024.

The mighty Atlas ICBM is legendary in the history of America’s space and missile programs. It began the Atlas family of rockets. The USAF developed it as America’s first ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) and one of the earliest liquid-fueled rockets in the 1950s! The Atlas quickly transformed into one of America’s most successful space launch vehicles.

From 1957 into 2004, variants of the original Atlas launched hundreds of payloads into space, including our first astronauts into orbit! The legacy of Atlas continues today with ULA’s Atlas V series, which continues to launch from the Cape, setting more milestones along the way.
