4 Hour Warm Up @ Shadyside 2026

The 4 Hour Warm Up @ Shadyside is a free four-hour endurance run held at the Shadyside Activity Center in Anderson, Indiana. A single clock begins at 9 a.m. and counts down to 1 p.m., with runners aiming to cover their desired mileage before time expires. Participants may run individually, with companions, or utilize the event as a team practice for the 8-Hour Dream Endurance Race scheduled for mid-July. The course follows the standard Shadyside path in reverse, offering both 2.6-mile and 1.5-mile loop choices. No official scoring or participant tracking is provided; each runner is responsible for their own time and distance. The Anderson Road Runners organization will provide a tent, grill, food, water, and Gatorade, while attendees are welcome to bring tents, chairs, snacks, and beverages for a tailgate-style gathering near the parking area.
