Fox Island Triathlon #2

Pocahontas Swim Club is celebrating their 66th year of summer fun! As many of you have heard we have undertaken a major renovation project to revitalize the pool. This summer you will be able to enjoy the pool with a brand-new micro glass coating and tiled lane lines. This capstone project will serve us for decades to come. We are hosting a 5k Run/ Walk , and kids 1 mile Run on 6/28 to show off our beautiful new pool and to help raise money for this project. This is a community event, and we are welcoming all participants from the race to enjoy the pool for the day. Each race participant will receive a pass for 6/28 to enjoy our beautiful new pool. Already a member? Use your pass to bring a guest for the day! We look forward to celebrating with you and thank you for your support!

The Fort Wayne Running Club is proud to host Runners on Pace “ROP” presented by Fort Wayne Orthopedics (formerly Runners on Parade) in its second year on the campus of our awesome title sponsor. Experience all the things that have made ROP Fort Wayne's favorite 5K, including a fantastic loop course, mostly roads with a straight stretch of paved trail in the final mile (mainly flat with a short hill at mile 2.6), cash prizes for overall open and master winners, gift cards for age group top three, youth awards, post-race refreshments and awards presentation under the canopy, custom designed race shirts. This location offers easy access to parking and the course borders the very beautiful Eagle Marsh Nature Preserve (Trip Advisor’s #24 of 114 things to do in Fort Wayne). This course will appeal to both the serious competitor and the causal walker/runner/families/youth seeking a fun and social summer morning.

Packet pickup will occur on Friday 7/10/26 at Fleet Feet Southwest (in the Village at Coventry) from 2-7 pm, and on race morning 7/11/26 under the canopy at Fort Wayne Orthopedics at 6:30 AM. Late registration will be offered at Fleet Feet on Friday 7/10/26 and at the event venue on race morning.

Youth (0-18) always get "early-bird" pricing

The race will start at 8:00am. View the course map below.

Awards and post race snacks will be offered under the canopy.

The Fort Wayne Running Club plans to follow guidance and implement safety measures for the benefit of all participants. The following policies will be in place for this event:

1. The race will be limited to pre-registered runners. We hope you can join us, so sign up soon!

2. Runners are encouraged to take all necessary safety precautions on their own. Please take the personal precautions you feel are necessary for your own personal safety as we come together as a running community

3. We will have timing mats at the start, so we encourage runners and walkers to self-seed based on projected paces.

4. We will have a water stop along the course and water for you at the finish since July can be warm.

5. All registered runners will need to agree to an updated waiver.

6. We recommend that those feeling sick, ill, with fever, or recently having been in contact with anyone recovering from illness not participate.

7. We also recommend that people from high-risk groups consult their physician before participating

Be a part of the Kit's Club and Silver Fox Club Fox Trot! Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in this walk/run!

The course is one mile long, and participants can choose to walk or run. This is not a timed race.

In the past, this run has been reserved for just club members, but this year, you do not need to be a member of the Kit's Club or Silver Fox Club to participate.

The course starts outside the main entrance to Parkview Field and finishes at home plate, where participants will receive their finisher medal!

All participants will receive a t-shirt when registering before September 1, 2025. After that point, shirts are likely but not guaranteed.

The Fort4Fitness Fall Festival is the year’s biggest community celebration of fitness in Downtown Fort Wayne!

Every year, thousands of athletes train for and participate in the Fall Festival. The Saturday event features three race distances (4 Mile, 10K, and Half Marathon) to suit people of all ages and abilities. Participants are enthusiastically encouraged along the way by neighborhood cheer groups and live music performers, and they're awarded a finisher medal at the Finish Line at Parkview Field.

Virtual options for the 4 Mile, 10K, and Half Marathon are open as well. These participants will complete their distances at any time or place and will receive a race shirt and finisher medal.
