A message from race director Pelege Lareus:
Hi, my name is Pelege Lareus, I am the founder of Bolivar Athletics. I invite you to sign up and join us for our inaugural community 4 Mile Run/Walk in Newark, Ohio, on June 27, 2026! This 4 mile route is primarily an out-and-back bike path course that will start and finish at Rotary Park (925 Sharon Valley Rd, Newark, OH 43055). The reason I am hosting this 4 miler event is because I enjoy bringing people together. Often people are way too busy, so I want to dedicate the race to spending time with family, and making new friendships.
This 4 Mile Run/Walk is different from other races and we are committed to providing a lot of fun for after you finish! After the race, there will be food, beverages, disc golf, corn hole, and other games planned, all taking place a short drive from Rotary Park at DankHouse Brewing Company! Again, I want to emphasize the fact that the race is open to everyone, I want the runners/walkers to enjoy themselves. I dedicate this event to all of you, spending time with friends and family is a special and priceless thing.
Slow down for the day, there's no rush, just have a good time.
Finally, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Licking County Family YMCA in Newark Ohio. A big thank you to all the participants!
