Celebrate Independence Day with a spirited dash at the 23rd Annual 4 on the 4th Road Race, taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in the charming town of Keene, NH. This beloved community tradition invites runners and walkers alike to tackle a scenic 4-mile out-and-back course, commencing and concluding at Railroad Square on Main Street. Attracting hundreds of participants each year, with nearly 600 joining in 2024, the event is known for its festive atmosphere and is a perfect challenge for all fitness levels.

The race day in Keene typically brings highs around 82°F and lows around 56°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation. To ensure a comfortable experience, organizers strategically schedule an early start time, with walkers beginning at 7:30 a.m. and runners at 8:00 a.m.. This popular summer race is more than just a run; it's a chance to contribute to a vital cause, as all proceeds directly benefit Pathways for Keene, Inc., a local nonprofit dedicated to enhancing and maintaining the area's cherished network of paths and trails. Strollers are welcome, making it a fantastic family-friendly event, though dogs and backpacks are not permitted for safety.

Join the Greater Keene running community for a memorable start to your Fourth of July celebrations. Experience the camaraderie and the picturesque course, all while supporting the beautiful local trails that make Keene such a special place to run. Be sure to register early, as the first 400 participants are guaranteed a commemorative event t-shirt.
