Bradenton, FL
Entry is $20 now and rises to $25 after Mar 11, 2027, so registering before then saves $5.
Bennett Park runs a night trail race through terrain that most runners never see in daylight, let alone after dark. The route moves through the full park using trails rather than a looped road course, and headlamps are required. Blacklight and neon lighting mark the path, and the organizers set up a selfie wall somewhere along the way. Watch for red glowing lights planted near the ponds.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 41:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (75 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 4 Miles winner ran 21:38 while the median finisher took 41:04. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
