✨ May the 4th Be With You – 4 Mile Virtual Race (2026)

Our 8th Annual Celebration

May 4th is more than just another day—it’s a fan-favorite celebration, and we’re honoring it the best way we know how: with miles, medals, and a whole lot of fun! Join us for our 8th annual May the 4th Be With You 4 Mile Virtual Race, a themed event designed for runners and walkers of all levels.

This year’s race features a brand-new finisher medal, crafted from acrylic and engraved right here in our own shop. It’s bold, unique, and made to celebrate your accomplishment long after the miles are complete.

And as always, your participation goes beyond the finish line. We’re proud to donate at least 15% of every registrationto Soles4Souls, an organization that has collected and distributed more than 26 million pairs of shoes to people in need across 127 countries and all 50 U.S. states since 2006. Your miles truly help make a difference.
