What is a TACP you ask? They are the combat ground troops within the United States Air Force, Tactical Air Control Party (TACP.) TACPs are embedded with Army and Marine units on the frontline with the incredible responsibility of calling in an air strike on the right target at just the right time. These highly trained experts go through intense physical, mental and technical training in order to withstand the demanding conditions of battle and provide their team with the firepower they need for continued success on the battlefield.

TACP 24 Hour Challenge is sponsored by the TACP Association, a non-profit 501c(19) organization, and Indiana Trail Running Association, a 501c(3) organization.
