Get ready to rock the most patriotic gear you've got because this 4th of July, we're throwing the ultimate party on the pavement – Four on the 4th! Lace up those running shoes or take a leisurely stroll for 4 glorious miles along the iconic Ward Parkway, all while soaking in the spirit of Independence Day.

Sporting the classic red, white, and blue is not just an option; it's practically a requirement! Picture yourself crossing that finish line with the wind in your hair, clad in a shirt that screams "I love America," and a finisher medal so bold and charming, it's practically the embodiment of the American dream itself.

Don't let FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) get the best of you – grab your spot at Uncle Sam's favorite race and make this 4th of July unforgettable. Because when it comes to celebrating freedom, nothing beats Four on the 4th!
