    The Kit's Club & Silver Fox Club program is a months-long program designed to help you reach your marathon goals!

    Each participant will do their best to complete 26.2 miles - that's a marathon distance - throughout the program, little by little. Keep track of your mileage with a F4F logbook that you'll collect when the program starts in May. (Participants also receive a t-shirt and goody bag!)

    Not a runner? Don't like walking? That's okay! Your logbook will have a conversion chart with lots of other fun activities that you can convert to mileage, such as biking, basketball, yoga, swimming, etc.

    You can also rack up more mileage at smaller F4F events held around the Fort Wayne area.

    At the Friday event on September 26th, all participants complete a celebratory 1.2-mile lap around the stadium and receive their finisher medal at home plate!

    Kit's Club is for kids ages 4-14, and Silver Fox Club is for adults 50 and older.

    On Sunday Feb 8th, 2026, Fleet Feet Fort Wayne will be hosting a Community Pantry Ruck Run & Walk as an act of solidarity, not charity. We are asking the community to come together and help fill the Local Forward Indiana Community Pantries with non -perishable Food items and supplies.

    For our 3rd annual Community Pantry Ruck Run & Walk we are asking everyone to fill a backpack large or small with non perishable food items and necessities. As a group or individually you will run or walk a course specially designed by Fleet Feet to various Community Food Pantry Locations. You will take 1-2 non-perishable food items out of you backpack and place in the Community Food Pantry. You will then run or walk to the next outside Food Pantry designated on the map and do the same. You will continue to follow the map going to each pantry designated and gradually emptying your backpack of food items.

    There will be eight pantries to fill , your backpack should contain approximately 18 non perishable food items ( 2 per community food pantry cabinet)

    We will start and finish at Bravas Restaurant 3416 Fairfield Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46807-1823. After the Ruck Run you are welcomed to join us at Bravas for Brunch. FYI, Make sure to bring Extra Cash for the Brunch, Brunch is on you.

    Experience the Fort Wayne Zoo like never before!

    Imagine running through a dazzling display of giant lanterns on a 1-mile course, lighting up your path in vibrant colors and shapes. This unique race promises a blend of competition and enchantment, perfect for all ages.

    Race Details:

    • Course: 1-mile course around the zoo featuring beautiful, large lantern displays. It will not be dark at this time.

    • Timing: Not a timed race, but a race nonetheless!

    • Medals: Placement-based medal per wave: Cheetah Medals for the first 10 racers, Gazelle Medals for the next 10 racers, etc.

    • Wave Information: All waves follow the same route; only the start times differ. If you are walker or a slower runner, register for the Yellow, Rainbow or White Wave. After all race waves conclude (around 8:40 PM), participants can revisit the course at their leisure and enjoy the stunning displays until 11:00 PM, free of charge.

    Important Notes:

    Racers will receive a coupon on their race bib to use at any of the food or drink (non-alcoholic) vendors inside the Zoo. The Peacock Café, Ray’s Grill, Bamboo Snack Station, Slice and Carousel Canteen will have Asian cuisine offerings available.

    All participants need to have cleared the course by 8:40 PM for reopening.

    No On-Site Registration!

    For the safety of our animals, dogs and other pets are not permitted. Service animals must check in at Zoo guest services at least 1 hour prior to the race.

    While participants can reenter the course for free after the race, friends and family can join them by purchasing separate admission at the front gate.
