Beginning as a strictly local event for avid runners, the 4 on the 4th has become one of Chester Rotary’s most popular fundraisers.    In the beginning, keeping track of the runners and their time was by a paper notecard filled out at the start and handed to one of the volunteers as the runner crossed the finish line.  You can imagine the condition of some of the cards were in at the finish--certainly crumpled and some wet from the sprinklers some neighbors put out for runners!  Of course, there were cards lost along with way and some runners would just keep on running without handing in their card.  But that’s how it was done.

The course itself had changed in distance, location and direction over the years.  This was in part to address State highway and Town traffic concerns and due to some weather events.  One year in the 80’s a bridge was washed out so the course was reversed in direction and re-routed until repairs were completed.

In just a few years the race became very popular and too big for the few who made it work.  As some of them were already members of Chester Rotary, the Club was happy to take it on.  The race continues to be managed by the club members and friends.  

We’re grateful to all whose efforts in the early years of the race made this race so special. Thank you!
