About
The Cooper-Young 4-Miler is a classic Midtown tradition held in the streets of Cooper-Young the night before the Cooper-Young Festival. Runners will hit the streets of our historic, eclectic neighborhood for a one of a kind experience culminating in Trestlefest, a street party complete with pizza, beer, and yacht rock by the Relentless Breeze. It's the perfect way to kick off CY Festival weekend.
