About the Event

Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation's 15th Annual Glow Run

Saturday, September 12, 2026 @ UWM Field

Glow in the dark with us as we raise funds to help empower young adults to restart their lives after cancer diagnosis through adventure-based activities. This is an outdoor run/walk starting at UWM Field in Utica, traveling primarily through River Bends Park before looping back to finish back at UWM Field.

This year's event comes with an extra dose of excitement: the Glow Run falls on the same night as a playoff game at UWM Field! The energy will be electric from the moment you arrive, making our 15th Annual Glow Run an unforgettable evening. Enjoy the playoff energy and cheer on your favorite team at the game before and after the race!

UWM Field will open at 5:00pm for event participants. The race will start at dusk (approximately between 7:30pm and 7:45pm). Participants should plan to be parked and inside UWM Field by 7:00pm. Please note: due to the playoff game, parking will be in higher demand than usual. Police officers will be closing part of Auburn Road to ensure the safety of our participants.

There will be multiple options for participants to pick up their race materials (e.g., event shirt and bib number) Early Packet Pickup will be Thursday, September 10th, at Hanson's Running Shop located at 8409 Hall Road, Utica, MI 48317 from 3-8pm. Event day check available at UWM Field starting at 5:00pm
