Get ready for a unique twist on your typical road race with the Ultra Ultras Fools 4ish Mile, set for Wednesday, April 1, 2026, in scenic Lakeland, Florida. Kicking off at 6:00 PM EDT from Lake Hollingsworth at 919 Lake Hollingsworth Drive, this event promises more than just a run; it's a celebration of community and camaraderie with a playful April Fools spirit. Participants will embark on a "4ish" mile journey around the beautiful lake, a route known for its pleasant scenery and generally flat terrain, making it accessible for runners of all ages and abilities.

What truly sets the Ultra Ultras Fools 4ish Mile apart is its lighthearted approach. While it's a "REAL race" with a genuine entry fee, the organizers embrace the "4ish miles... Maybe..." concept, adding a delightful element of surprise to the distance. Runners can look forward to receiving an event shirt and a unique finisher's medal—treasures thoughtfully repurposed from previous events. For those with a competitive edge, awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, as well as top finishers across various age groups, from 0-9 to 80+.

Expect typical race day conditions in early April to be pleasant, with historical highs around 83°F and lows near 59°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation. This combination of an engaging course, quirky charm, and a supportive atmosphere makes the Ultra Ultras Fools 4ish Mile an unforgettable experience in the heart of Lakeland.
