Capitalizing on the incredible success of the 2008 Fort-4-Fitness festival weekend, the 2009 Fort-4-Fitness event is off to a great start. A new course layout for both the Half Marathon and 4 Mile Run/Walk includes an exciting finish in the new downtown baseball stadium - Parkview Field.

Many participants have already registered online for the Half Marathon or 4 Mile Run/Walk. Due to the success of the 2008 Fort-4-Fitness weekend, a number of new sponsors have committed to supporting this year's event which takes place on Friday and Saturday, September 25-26. Of course, our inaugural event sponsors remain the backbone of Fort-4-Fitness, in particular our Diamond Sponsor; Parkview Health.
The Fort-4-Fitness weekend now includes four events, including the Health Fair and Kids Marathon on the Friday prior to Saturday's races. Registrants are encouraged to pick up their Race Packets at this time. On Saturday, the Half Marathon and 4 Mile Run/Walk kick off at 7:30 am. Both runners and attendees can sample healthy cuisine Saturday morning and early afternoon at the Healthy Food Expo.
