Race The Machine – 4 Mile Drop

A Shared RTM Moment · One Weekend · One Distance

The 4 Mile Drop is a one-off Race The Machine challenge, open to all runners — and run together by those already taking part in the Race The Machine Grand Challenge 2026.

One distance.
One target.
One effort.

📅 When It Happens
