How can I get updates about the race?
Visit the Women’s Four Miler Facebook page to stay up to date on events and race-day information.
I don’t want to run four miles, is it okay if I walk?
YES! Participants choose to walk for many different reasons- injury, keeping pace with younger family members, aches and pains, etc. Whatever your reason for walking, four miles is the same distance at 24 minutes as it is at 50 minutes!
How do I get my race results?
If you would like to receive race day results by the time you get to your phone, please follow these instructions!
Help! I chose the wrong t-shirt size during registration. How can I change my size?
How do I add mailed packet to my existing registration?
I’ve already registered, but now I want to join a racing team. Can I do this?
Absolutely! When you registered, you received an email that includes a link that is labeled “Manage Registration” (link is located above the QR code). This link will take you to a runsignup.com page that will prompt you to sign in. Once signed in, there will be an arrow in the top right-hand corner of the screen with a drop-down menu. Select “Profile” and then “Manage Registration” on the right and then “Group/Team”. From this screen, you can create a new team or join an existing one.
This is a female-only race. How can the males in my life get involved?
The Women’s Four Miler requires a lot of volunteer-power to help things run smoothly! There are volunteer opportunities to help with packet pick-up and for the day of the race.
Should I bring my own water on the day of the race?
We encourage you to bring lots of water to keep hydrated, but there are water stops along the course.
Are strollers or baby carriers allowed on the race course?
No, because of safety issues due to the high volume of participants, strollers of any kind (including jogging strollers) and baby carriers are not allowed on the Foxfield race course.
Can I use my headphones/earbuds during the race?
No, due to safety issues, we discourage using headphones during the race.
I’ve just realized that I can’t come to the race. Can I get a refund?
Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds on registration fees, but you still get your race bib and t-shirt.
It looks like it might rain on race day! What is the weather plan?
The race happens rain or shine, thought it would be canceled in the event of a thunderstorm. We recommend coming prepared with a raincoat, just in case!
What time should I arrive?
Though the race begins at 8 AM, you can arrive as early as 6:30 and must arrive no later than 7:30. At 7:30, the road is closed to all traffic at 7:30 while staging begins and does not open again until 9:30.
My CTC membership expires before the race, do I need to renew now to get the discount?
Yes, we validate membership as of race day to receive the CTC discount. If your membership expires before race day, you'll need to renew to receive the discount.
Where is packet pickup?
