Description

✨ FOUR ON THE 4TH ✨ More than a race. A hometown tradition. A celebration of community.❤️💙

Every Fourth of July, our community shows up for one another in the most beautiful way—and Four on the 4th is at the heart of it all. This year marks the 15th annual Boys & Girls Club of Southwest Virginia’s Four on the 4th race and as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary - and your participation today helps ensure the next 250 years for the youth in our community!

Join us in Downtown Vinton for one of the Roanoke Valley’s favorite holiday traditions benefiting the incredible Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia. This event is one of their largest annual fundraisers, helping provide life-changing after-school programs, summer camps, mentorship, meals, and safe spaces for youth across our region.

And if you’ve ever been around the Boys & Girls Club crew out and about in our community… you already know: they SHOW UP. Loud, proud, joyful, supportive, welcoming, and full of heart. This year, we’re rallying right back around them and making this race bigger, louder, and more meaningful than ever.

This is the kind of event that reminds you what community is supposed to feel like.
