The Experience
The Fort4Fitness Fall Festival is the year’s biggest community celebration of fitness in Downtown Fort Wayne! Every year, thousands of athletes train for and participate in the Fall Festival. The Saturday event features three race distances (4 Mile, 10K, and Half Marathon) to suit people of all ages and abilities. Participants are enthusiastically encouraged along the way by neighborhood cheer groups and live music performers, and they're awarded a finisher medal at the Finish Line at Parkview Field. Virtual options for the 4 Mile, 10K, and Half Marathon are open as well. These participants will complete their distances at any time or place and will receive a race shirt and finisher medal.
