The Fort4Fitness Summer Sunset Relay, held on June 27, 2026, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, offers a unique and engaging experience for runners of all levels. Set at the scenic MedPro Group campus on Reed Road, this event transforms a straightforward race into a vibrant backyard party. Participants can choose between 6-hour and 3-hour relay options, challenging themselves and their teams to complete as many one-mile paved laps as possible. The flat, accessible course makes it ideal for setting personal bests or simply enjoying a summer evening run with friends and family.

This relay is renowned for its lively atmosphere, going beyond just a race. Runners are encouraged to bring tents and coolers, fostering a festive, communal spirit. Along the course, you'll find free water stations to keep you hydrated, along with live entertainment, ice cream sales, squirt guns, and even a DIY cheer signs station to boost morale. Each team utilizes a chipped timing baton to track their laps, adding an element of friendly competition while ensuring accurate results. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 84°F and lows around 63°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a potentially warm and spirited challenge. All participants receive a commemorative event tank top and a finisher medal, celebrating their achievement in this rain-or-shine event.
