Night owls, come light up the night! This 6K run lines up at 11:59 PM (Friday Night) and the race starts at Midnight Saturday morning near the gate at Uppill Road. Bring your glow sticks and lights to add to the festivities. We will have a glow in the dark arch at the start / finish and MoonPies as a treat after your cross the line.
Course Description
The course continues up Rundill road hill, then circles around Iroquois Park Road and Toppill Road before coming back down the hill. Every mile will get easier!
Note: Every runner is REQUIRED to have a headlamp or flashlight for your and other participants safety.
No Race Day Registration
Since it will be dark at the race start time, there will be NO registration at the race. That said, you CAN absolutely register on your phone from the car or as your walk up to check-in ;)
