Last year’s inaugural 4-Mile Garden Run was a smashing success, bringing together runners of all levels to race for a great cause: creating an outdoor garden and play space for our school. Over 200 participants laced up their shoes, cheered on by enthusiastic spectators and fueled by the excitement of friendly competition. Thanks to the incredible turnout and generous contributions, we raised enough funds to break ground on the garden, a project that is now blossoming into a vibrant space for all to enjoy.
This year, we’re back and better than ever! The Moneystown 4-Mile Road Race returns with exciting new features to enhance your race experience. We’ve added professional chipped timing to ensure accurate results and expanded our prize categories. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, enjoying a fun run with friends, or coming out to walk with family and friends to support an amazing school initiative, this event is for you.
The atmosphere promises to be just as energetic and welcoming as before, with live music, refreshments, and a spirit of camaraderie that makes this more than just a race. Join us for another unforgettable day and help us take the outdoor garden and play space to the next level!
