April Fools 4 Miler - Winners Circle Running Club

April Fools 4 Miler - Winners Circle Running Club is held in Amesbury, Massachusetts, on April 3, 2027. There is one format on the schedule, a 4-mile race (about 6.4 km) that goes off at 10:00 a.m. The event is put on by the Winners Circle Running Club, and the single distance keeps the morning simple: one start, one gun, and a road race short enough to be over well before lunch.

Four miles is an unusual and genuinely useful racing distance. It is long enough that you cannot sprint it from the line, short enough that you spend the whole race near your threshold, and it makes a sharp early-season fitness check before the spring 10Ks and half marathons. If you already run three or four times a week, you need no special build for it, though two or three weeks of short tempo work or mile repeats will help you hold pace after the second mile. Warm up properly for the 10:00 a.m. start, then aim to run the second half no slower than the first.
