Greetings, Four Miler friends!

The 43rd annual Charlottesville Women's Four Miler will be held at Foxfield on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. This much-loved community event began in 1983 and, since then, has grown to become the largest women's-only race in Virginia while raising over 4.2 million dollars for the UVA Breast Care Center. We hope you will join in this fun, challenging, and deeply meaningful local tradition. Run or walk the beautiful countryside course, or participate virtually from anywhere.

All proceeds from registration fees go directly to the UVA Breast Care Center and we strongly encourage you to fundraise beyond this.

A special thanks for Foxfield for all the amazing support over all the years, and to the hundreds of local sponsors and volunteers who make this event possible. We would like to acknowledge the Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) for their years of support for this and many other local, not-for-profit events. Please consider becoming a member of the CTC here and follow their website and social media to stay current on upcoming events!

VIRTUAL OPTION: We understand it if you can’t make it to Foxfield, especially if you're traveling for the Labor Day holiday or live out of town. We’d still love to have you be a part of this special fundraising event, so please feel free to run or walk a four-mile course of your choosing close to home.

Come join us for the 2026 Charlottesville Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, Nov. 26th at 9:00 am. The race starts and finishes next to Albemarle High School and features a neighborhood course with flat stretches and gentle rolling hills, totaling 133 feet of elevation gain. Ample parking will be available at Albemarle High School, Journey Middle School, and Greer Elementary.

The race proudly supports two local beneficiaries: the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank and Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, both of which provide critical food resources to individuals and families in need. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank serves Central Virginia and is an affiliate of the national organization Feeding America. Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry, located directly on the race route, is the largest distributor of food from the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in the Charlottesville area and provides free groceries to families and individuals up to two times per month, with nearly one-third of households visiting twice monthly.

Race registration is $35 beginning Sept. 1. Registration includes a soft technical race t-shirt that’s comfortable for running or everyday wear while supplies last. Sign up by October 26 to guarantee a race shirt.

Participants may register as individual runners or form a team with coworkers, family, neighbors, or sports teammates. Teams compete for the four fastest cumulative times and year-long bragging rights.

We extend our thanks to Blue Ridge Timing for providing chip timing for the course and Connect Church for hosting packet pickup.

No race refunds or deferrals.

No dogs on the race course.

Strollers are permitted only in the last wave—no exceptions. If stroller participants do not start in the final wave, this option will not be offered in future races.

Local Albemarle EMT medical services will be on site. We are grateful for their volunteer support and for all who help ensure a safe and enjoyable race experience.

Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, partners, and volunteers for their dedication and care in bringing the community together through the Charlottesville Turkey Trot. We truly couldn’t do it without you.
