The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation (NAMF) will host its 3rd annual Onward & Upward Virtual Race throughout October to celebrate the U.S. Navy’s TOPGUN pilots and program. Open to participants nationwide, the Onward & Upward Virtual Race registration portal was originally set to open on October 1.
The U.S. Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, also known as TOPGUN, is an elite strike fighter air division that started in 1969 as the United States Fighter Weapons School. This program selects and trains our nation’s best strike fighter pilots, currently training in F/A-18 jets.

The Navy’s TOPGUN program received worldwide recognition after the 1986 film, “Top Gun,” set box office records. The elite fighter jet training program received international spotlight, once again, more than 30 years later in this year’s movie sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick.”

The Onward & Upward virtual race allows participants to choose the distance, time and place to complete the race, anytime between October 1-31. Participants can register online for the 1 mile, 5K or 10K distance for a $35 registration fee. All participants will receive a sliding F/A-18 jet and pilot aviators race medal and a digital race bib.

Participants are asked to use #OnwardUpward and tag @navalaviationmuseum for all social media posts. All proceeds support the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation which helps support the National Naval Aviation Museum, National Flight Academy, DoD STARBASE, and the Flight Adventure Deck —which advances STEM education for our nation’s youth. We promote the history and heritage of Naval Aviation for current and future generations.

Walk the labyrinth, March 6-8. A full-size canvas replica of that labyrinth floor, housed in the UWF Student Commons Auditorium, will be open for the public to walk on Sunday, March 6 (2 p.m.- 6 p.m.); Monday, March 7 (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.) and Tuesday, March 8 (9 a.m. - 4 p.m.). The public is welcome to visit, walk the labyrinth, and experience for themselves the calm and meditative atmosphere. Labyrinth designs have been formed, inscribed and built for different purposes over millennia. Today, many turn to labyrinths as spiritual, therapeutic and/or meditative aids. In existence since prehistory, labyrinth designs gained a new meaning in classical Greece as the home of the Minotaur.

Join Tuesday, March 8, for "Finding Focus: The History, Use, and Benefits of the Labyrinth." The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a reception and another opportunity to walk. (Walk reservations advised.) The program will begin at 6:30 with performances and a panel discussion.

Free and open to the public. A well-fitted face covering should be worn in all shared indoor spaces. Face coverings are not required, however the University, as well as the CDC, highly recommends the use of face coverings indoors.
