Event Description
The days’ events are designed to promote and encourage active families and healthy lifestyles... oh, and celebrate football. The Atrium Health Big Game 4 Miler presented by Sportport and benefiting RunningWorks, will feature a 4 mile run and also a 100 yard kids dash. The course will start and finish outside the Panther Stadium at the corner of Mint St. and Stonewall St.
Participants will be encouraged to dress up and support their favorite football team and there will be a costume contest. When you register, you will also be able to choose the team you are supporting and receive a custom bib with your teams’ colors.
The entire event will be football themed. There are 4 downs in football and 4 miles on the course. Down markers will replace mile markers, course officials will be dressed as referees, the finish line will be the end zone, kid’s will get mini footballs, etc.
And the most important part…the tailgating afterwards to help kick start your pre-game and celebrate the biggest day in sports.
