The City of Charlottesville also hosts the Women's Four Miler to benefit the UVA Cancer Center Breast Care Program.

The focus of Charlottesville Men's Four Miler is to promote physical activity in sedentary males, and their immediate families.

The Charlottesville Men's Four Miler Training Program meets as a group during the nine weeks preceding the race.

The supervised program aims to assist runners to achieve successful completion of the foot race, and to encourage participants to engage in regular exercise as a part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

The novice group starts training in two laps on the track, and eventually working up to the full four miles intended for the actual race.
