Experience the unique blend of trail running and nightlife with Black Diamond Afterglow Twilight Trail Run. This event transforms ordinary trails into an electrifying journey under the glow of twilight, blending fitness with fashion and fun. Participants can choose from four distinct distances: 5km Day-Glow, 5km Night-Glow, 13km Semi Glow, or the full challenge at 21km Full Glow. The route begins on the Surf Coast Walk from Point Addis, leading runners past the iconic Bells Beach to Torquay. Along this path, you'll encounter vibrant neon lights, quirky wigs, and funky fashion that add a playful twist to your run. The atmosphere is electric as runners groove to retro DJ tunes, creating an unforgettable experience. This event caters perfectly for both seasoned trail runners and those new to the night runs, offering a celebratory vibe that makes it ideal for ending the year on a high note. The focus extends beyond just running; participants can immerse themselves in the fun by donning their best glow-in-the-dark attire or simply enjoying the festive ambiance. Black Diamond Afterglow Twilight Trail Run supports an important cause: raising awareness and funds for the Sexual Assault and Family Violence Centre in Geelong, which plays a crucial role in addressing gender-based and family violence. For every runner who paints their nails to show solidarity when picking up their bib, the organizers will donate $5 to this worthy charity. Additionally, participants can contribute further by fundraising through SAFV's MyCause page or making direct donations during registration. The event aligns with the State Government’s Respect Victoria campaign and its "16 Days of Activism" initiative, emphasizing community support and awareness in a vibrant and engaging way.
