Run, White and Blue 5K

Join Epic Racing Events for the 7th annual Summit City Half Marathon and Quarter Marathon on Saturday April 11th 2026. No need to travel for those spring half marathons anymore because now we have one right here in our hometown!

Please be aware that we have decided to change race venues for 2026. We loved our old course but for runner safety reasons we have decided to move our event to PFW and the surrounding greenway. All participants in either distance will receive a long sleeve unisex running shirt and all half and Quarter marathon finishers will be awarded with a special finishers medal symbolizing our Summit City pride. Are you ready for the challenge? Click the link below and sign up now. We can’t wait to see you!

We are excited to announce The Getting Miles Athletic Club's first annual Fort Wayne Park Race Series!

Participants age 12 and under are eligible to compete in this race series.

The Shoaff Park Long Mile, the first race of the series, is a1,5 mile loop on the paved recreation trail in Shoaff Park.

Make sure you arrive early to find a good parking spot, warm up, use the restrooms and pick up your race bib.

Series participants need to return their race bibs to the packet pickup station in order to receive points for the race. You will use the same race bib for all the events.

Runners will receive a race decal to put on their bib at the finish line.

Be sure to return your race bib to packet pickup after you finish the race. You will use the same bib for the entire season!

We are collecting non-perishable food items to help fill the local food lockers to help local families in need.

The Getting Miles Athletic Club is a local organization whose goal is to provide a community for recreational athletes of all levels.
