About the Red, Hot & Blue 4 Miler

The course runs through Walnut Creek Linear Trail, starting and finishing at McKnight Park. It is a trail-style route with a patriotic holiday theme, and the organizers encourage runners to show up in red, white, and blue. The shorter distance is aimed at younger runners, while the longer route is a solid morning effort on its own terms.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at McKnight Park, with a race-morning window as a backup for those who cannot make it the prior day. Post-race, there is music and snacks at the park. Age group awards go several places deep across both distances.

Common Questions About the Red, Hot & Blue 4 Miler

Will I finish last at the Red, Hot & Blue 4 Miler?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 45:24, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:29:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Red, Hot & Blue 4 Miler a good first 4 Miles?

It is a small race (193 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.

How competitive is the Red, Hot & Blue 4 Miler?

The 4 Miles winner ran 23:00 while the median finisher took 45:24. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
