Van Wert 4 Mile
WHEN: Saturday, July 21st at 8:00 PM. Race day registration begins at 6:00 PM
WHERE: Start: Eggress Stadium; Finish: Old Post Office, home of Keister & Baker Law Office
WHAT: Whether you are part of a high school program, college team, post collegiate training group, or flying solo, come join us for the hottest new 4 mile road race in the Tri-State area.
(1) Tri-State Border Battle: A 4 mile race of post-collegiate training groups. Teams are to be comprised of not more than 6 individuals. The finish times of the top 4 runners on each team will be summed for a total team time. The men's and women's teams with the fastest total team times will win running gear swag and Great Lakes elite team bragging rights.
(2) High School Mascot Dash: A great summer workout and time trial opportunity for high school runners, as well as their supporters. Each high school team must select a team "mascot" runner who will run the 4 mile race (can be alumni, coach, or community member). At the conclusion of the race, 10 seconds will be taken off of the mascot's final 4 mile time for every person finishing the 4 mile or 1 mile race who indicated they are affiliated with the mascot's team. The team with the fastest time will receive a $500 donation toward their program. Any team with at least 30 individuals affiliated with the team will also receive a donation.
(3) 1-Mile Fun Run: Help out your team or program--or simply just contribute to your own healthy habits--by walking, jogging, or racing a mile.
AWARDS: Prize money for top 5 male & female runners (not currently high school or collegiate runners) - $250, $125, $100, $75, $50. Special awards for top 50 male & female runners.
POST-RACE PARTY: Stick around after the race for Van Wert’s Towne Creek Live Festival with duck races, live music, beer tent, food truck, and fun.
