The new 100K &#8220;Metric Century&#8221; will cross the Ohio state line, travel to the mid-point in Antwerp, Ohio and return to the Cinema Center in Fort Wayne. The annual Kickstart4Kids will feature an obstacle course, snack station, helmet and bike fittings, and a bike parade. The Spring Cycle will conclude with post race refreshment and a festive atmosphere downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Fort4Fitness&#8217;s Fall Festival will take place September 30-October 1, 2016 at Parkview Field in Downtown Fort Wayne. The Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K (the 2016 RRCA National Championship 10K) and 4 Mile Run\/ Walk are held on Saturday, October 1st. &#8220;It has been always been a goal of Fort4Fitness to answer the call of our participants&#8217; needs. Two years ago, we began offering multi-race options to accommodate those runners and walkers wanting to complete longer distances. By adding a 26.2 mile course, Fort4Fitness participants are given the option to set new goals of completing this impressive accomplishment,&#8221; said Carrie Reeb, Director of Marketing and Community Relations. &#8220;Since Fort4Fitness strives to improve our events each year, the marathon has been put in place in an<br \/>\neffort to build upon the previously successful Triple Crown (running all 3 races&#8211;10K, Half Marathon and 4 Mile for a total of 23.3 miles), with a continuous distance to eliminate the break between races.&#8221; The registration fee for the Marathon is $65 before May 2nd, and then the price increases incrementally.<\/p>\n<p>Also new for 2016, Fort4Fitness will be setting a maxiumum number of participants in each race. The Marathon will be limited to 1,000 participants, the Half Marathon 3,000, the 10K 2,500 and 3,500 for the 4 Mile. These race caps will allow for better planning and a higher quality experience for those running or walking one of the Fort4Fitness events.<\/p>\n<p>The basic course layouts for the new distances are available at Fort4Fitness.org. More detailed information concerning registration, fees, start times, participant amenities, and race week info will be available on the Fort4Fitness website. Registration for both the 2016 Spring Cycle and Fall Festival open on January 1, 2016 at <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.Fort4Fitness.org\/\">Fort4Fitness.org<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
