Beat Beethoven 4 Mile Run/Walk

Runners will be challenged to beat Beethoven as they run 4 miles to the time it takes to perform his 5th Symphony. The course will begin on Main on the arts campus and will tour the scenic River Greenway. Arts United's principal partners will be performing live along the course making this event an unforgettable arts experience. Runners will cross the Martin Luther King bridge entering into the majestic Headwaters Park. Runners will finish to grand fan fair at Freimann square in the arts Campus. Runners will then have the opportunity to join in the festivities of Fort Wayne's largest post race celebration.

The proceeds from this race will go towards Arts United's continued support of its principal partners.
