From the Organizer
Light Up the Night 5K Glow Run Benefiting the Dyersburg High School Marching Band
Lace up, glow up, and light up the night! Join us for a 5K Glow Run supporting the Dyersburg High School Marching Band as they gear up for another season of music, marching, and community pride.
This isn't your average road race — as the sun sets, the course comes alive with blacklights, glow stations, and neon energy at every turn. Whether you're chasing a personal record or just here for the vibes, this run is for every pace and every person.
What's Included:
Registration: $40 — includes event t-shirt and glow gear (glasses, bracelets, and more to light up your run)
Not running? Be a Spirit Runner for $25 and support the band from the sidelines — same swag, no sweat required
Why Run: Every entry fee goes directly toward instruments, uniforms, travel, and competition costs for the DHS Marching Band program — helping our students keep making music.
Grab your friends, grab your glow sticks, and help send the band further this year. See you at the starting line!
