Fort4Fitness Fall Festival Half Marathon 10K & 4M

In the second half of the race, the course takes runners northward above the river bend and into the part of the city known as the North Highland neighborhood, passing by the city’s Foster Golf Course along the way. The race then heads back into the city’s neighborhoods, along Old Mill Road, Sherwood Terrace and South Wayne Avenue.
After making their way through the turns between miles 6 and 9, runners then begin the last few miles’ stretch back toward the finish line downtown, running past the campus of Fort Wayne’s Taylor University and Lutheran Park, followed by brief stretches along Hoagland Avenue and Baker Street before heading into Parkview Field for the finish.Because it takes place entirely on paved surfaces throughout Fort Wayne’s downtown and nearby neighborhoods, the course is mostly fast and flat, with a few gentle hills along the way.
The half marathon, 10K and four-mile race are all open to both runners and walkers, and runners can register to run in all three as part of the Triple Crown challenge. In past years, the half marathon has served as the Central Regional Championship Race for the Road Runners Club of America’s series of championship races across the country.
