Fort Wayne, IN
Entry is $30 now and rises to $35 after Jan 31, 2027, so registering before then saves $5.
The course runs through downtown Fort Wayne, finishing at a baseball stadium. Along the way, neighborhood groups set up cheer stations and live music acts are posted at spots on the route, so there is sound and crowd for most of the run. Several distance options mean the field covers a wide range of paces, and the finish-line area draws a real crowd.

The Fort4Fitness Fall Festival has been held every year since at least 2008. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

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 59:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:38:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
With 1,243 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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 23:02 while the median finisher took 59:48. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
