The skies above Grand Forks will be buzzing on June 23 when dozens of airplanes lift off from the starting line for the 2020 Air Race Classic (ARC), a cross-country women's air race that will originate in North Dakota for the very first time.
Between 50 and 60 planes will take off from the Grand Forks International Airport, approximately 30 seconds apart, as teams begin their journey. Racers have four days to reach the finish line in Terre Haute, Ind., flying more than 2,600 miles.
