From the Organizer

Fleet Feet Four Season Challenge! 

Commit to a year of racing in one of these categories!

Note: This will function similar to 2026 version. You will register as a separate event and not with Winter Warrior Registration.  Please be sure to read all the words and rules below associated with the 2027 Four Season Challenge (4SC).

Three Versions to Sign Up For

The 2027 Half Marathon In Person Version will include

  • Winter Warrior Half Marathon on Saturday, January 9th - Sign Up Here
  • Flower City Challenge Half Marathon on Sunday, April 25th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Shoreline Half Marathon on Saturday, July 17th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Rochester Half Marathon on Sunday, September 19th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Ideally all races should be In Person, but if you need to do Virtual that is fine. I mean is Winter Warrior in Florida fair? :)  There is a separate Virtual category at a different price point due to the back end logistics of management

The 2027 5Kish in Person Version will include

  • Winter Warrior Quarter Marathon on Saturday, January 9th - this is where the (5Kish) comes in. - Sign Up Here
    • Please Note: Winter Warrior Relay is NOT ELIGIBLE for Four Season Challenge and will need to move to the Quarter Marathon
  • Flower City Challenge 5K on Sunday, April 25th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Shoreline 5K on Saturday, July 17th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Rochester 5K on Sunday, September 19th - Registration Coming Soon
  • Ideally all races should be In Person, but if you need to do Virtual that is fine. I mean is Winter Warrior in Florida fair? :) There is a separate Virtual category at a different price point due to the back end logistics of management

The 2027 Virtual Version will include

Please Note: At any time you plan to sign up initially for the Virtual Events noted above you are to sign up for the Virtual Version of Four Season Challenge.  If you initially sign up for In Person and need to switch to the Virtual Event due to training or circumstances you can sign up for the In Person 4SC.  The Virtual Version of 4SC will operate very differently as there is a greater deal of back end management.  We reserve the right to close or cap any Virtual race early.

How this Works (aka the RULES)

  • You can sign up for Four Season Challenge Separately by clicking register button above.
  • You must complete all 4 events in the Challenge that you register for to be eligible for medals.  For example, you must complete all four In Person half marathons if you sign up for the In Person half marathon challenge
  • You must sign up for each of the other races in the challenge at your leisure.  This way you can budget your entry fees to the other events.  But you must be signed up for 4sc by January 8th so we know how many medals to get.  There is not deviation to this date.
  • Those entered in the Winter Warrior Relay ARE NOT eligible for Four Season Challenge Series nor finisher medals.
  • In other words, by signing up for the Four Season Challenge enters you into the Challenge NOT the respective races in the challenge.  You need to do that on your own when registrations open and your budget allows. 
  • Please register under the same name for each race.  Otherwise we will not know to designate you as 4SC for the events.
  • The 4SC offer ends January 8th at 5:45PM.  Due to this, so we can get all the medals & shirts ordered, they will not be available at Winter Warrior.  BUT we will ship the Winter Warrior one to you when they arrive to the address used to register for Four Season Challenge.  This is the only one we will ship.  All others will be picked up at the awards table after the other 3 In Person events.
  • The other three medals will be available at the awards table after In Person Flower City, Shoreline and Rochester.  We will not mail these medals for the In Person
  • The Four Season Challenge is a completely manual process, please exercise patience and read all the emails so you are most informed
  • We repeat, you must register for each individual race separately but for 4sc and WW by Jan 8.
  • No Refunds/Transfers nor Deferrals
