Historic Fourth Ward Park Park Mile medal

Run it, send your Strava link, unlock the medal — free.

Historic Fourth Ward Park sits right on the BeltLine Eastside Trail, a short walk from Ponce City Market. The Park Mile route is a 1.0-mile loop around the park's pond and lawns — the shortest medal in the Passport, and a perfect first one.

The route

Distance: 1.0 mile around the pond and park paths.
Terrain: paved, with a couple of short climbs.
Extend it: hop on the Eastside Trail for as many extra miles as you like.

Tips

The best "first medal" in the Passport — anyone can run a mile.
The BeltLine gets very busy on weekend afternoons; mornings are easier.
Reward yourself with a coffee at Ponce City Market afterwards.
