Welcome to the Purple Martin Fabulous 4 Miler!
Get ready for a challenging, hilly course that mirrors the terrain of Rutherfordton—perfect for pushing yourself beyond the typical 5K. This out-and-back race on the Purple Martin Greenway winds along scenic woods and Cleghorn Creek, crossing three picturesque bridges, including two covered bridges.
This year, we’re going red, white, and blue in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, so wear your patriotic gear and make it a race to remember!
Not only will you test your endurance, but your participation also helps support the growth and enhancement of the Greenway for the community. Lace up, embrace the challenge, and celebrate both your strength and our nation’s milestone!
