Athena Clydesdale Racing

Last year's race was a hot one, but it didn't stop racer's from working hard to the finish line.

This is your reminder that t-shirts for the 4 on the Fourth are pre-ordered and an add on to your registration (this helps us limit race waste and gives you autonomy over your entry fee). If you want a t-shirt, you must order it by June 10.

Bring on that finish line!

🇺🇸4 on the Fourth🇺🇸

Kick off your Independence Day festivities with a spirited 4-mile run that sets off the fireworks early! The course takes you on a scenic journey along a paved trail in a lollipop-style race, commencing at Colby Lake Park. Traverse north through the picturesque Wilmes Lake rollers, conquer a challenging hill around Summit Pointe Park, and make a triumphant return under the tunnel to Colby Lake Park for an energetic finish line reception. Following the run, it's time to head home to join your family for a delightful day of grilling, swimming, and, of course, enjoying the spectacular fireworks display. Start your Fourth of July with a burst of energy and celebrate the day with a memorable run and festive family activities!

*Race day includes the kids' Firecracker 1k race at 8:00am!

👀 Slight change to the half marathon race course.

While course marking this afternoon, we had a construction surprise up at the Interlachen road crossing over to Seasons Park.

To avoid an unsafe road crossing and questionable footing, instead of the half marathoners looping Seasons, you will turn right and make a 1 mile out and back towards Tamarack Road.

The rest of the race course remains construction free! Please note that the 12 mile marker is about .3 miles late now (and we just can't make it out to adjust it before race start).

The Garmin map has been updated on the website as well.

Thank you for understanding and adjusting to this change!
