Autumn Leaves Fall 4 Miler

Autumn Leaves Fall 4 Miler is run at Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland, Ohio, on November 8, 2026, starting at 8:30 a.m. The single distance is four miles (6.4 km), covered amid fall colors and the farm animals kept on site. Every entrant receives a long-sleeve shirt and a finisher medal, and hot soup is served once you are across the line.

Four miles is an awkward, useful distance: too long to sprint from the gun, too short to settle into a comfortable rhythm and coast. Start at something close to your 10K effort and lift it over the last mile. Almost any runner covering 15 miles a week can handle the distance without a dedicated build, which makes this a good race to slot in as a hard effort rather than a goal event. A farm park setting also makes it an easy one to bring family along to.
