Applications to enter the 2025 EAA AirVenture Cup Race are now available online.

The 27th annual race begins at 9 a.m. CDT July 20, 2025, when more than 80 aircraft are expected to fly the 400-nm course that starts and ends at Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW) in Wisconsin.

The race is open to all types of airplanes, including certified and experimental aircraft, according to organizers.

The AirVenture Cup Race is a timed race, with participants competing against the clock. Aircraft and pilots are divided into categories based on their certification, landing gear configuration, and engine size. Each class has first, second, and third place awards.

The race concludes a weekend of aviation activities at KAUW and serves as the unofficial kickoff to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, slated for July 21-27.

Interested pilots are encouraged to submit their application as soon as possible, according to organizers.
