Go Fourth One Mile Run/Walk 2024

The Cowlitz Valley Runners are partnering with a patriotic non-profit organization, Helping Every Veteran In Need (HEVIN), in this family friendly Independence Day event.  You can help veterans through a donation to HEVIN when you register for the Go Fourth Mile. Learn more about HEVIN at www.hevin4vets.com

Come join us for a one mile race (run or walk) on the route of the Longview, Washington Go 4th Festival's July 4th parade. It starts at the historic Monticello Hotel and finishes near Martin's Dock at beautiful Lake Sacajawea Park. Hosted by the Cowlitz Valley Runners, in partnership with HEVIN and sponsored by the Monticello Coffee House, the Child & Adolescent Clinic, Red Leaf Organic Coffee, Cortex Marketing, First Choice Medical Center, Norpac, and Todd Boze of Edward Jones, this is a fun event for the whole family. Hundreds of fans (lined up to watch the Go 4th Parade that will follow the race) will cheer the runners and walkers on this fast, flat, scenic course. The focus is on family fun, so the entry fee is minimal.  In keeping with the community, non-profit volunteer philosophy of the Go 4th Festival, the Cowlitz Valley Runners will apply proceeds to scholarships for high school seniors pursuing higher education. 

Awards: Medals  will be awarded to the top male and female finishers. Ribbons will be awarded to the the second and third place male and female finishers, and to the first male and female finishers over 50 .  Plus, we have several random door prizes!! WALKERS CAN WIN TOO!!
