ATW Neon Run 5K & 10K

Dive into an electrifying evening of running, music, and celebration at the inaugural ATW Neon Run on Friday, October 16th, 2026, starting at 7 PM sharp. This vibrant event takes place at Cyclopark in Gravesend, transforming a serene park setting into a glowing spectacle under the stars.
The Neon Run offers three distance options: a fun-filled 2.5K lap for all ages and abilities, an invigorating 5K race, or a challenging yet exhilarating 10K course. All runners will kick off together at precisely 7 PM from Cyclopark's well-lit starting line.
The event is meticulously designed to cater to both newcomers and seasoned ATW participants looking for something fresh and exciting. The smooth tarmac path ensures an accessible route, making it ideal for social runners and beginners alike while still providing a competitive challenge for those seeking their limits. As you circle the 2.5km lap multiple times depending on your distance choice, four strategically placed music stations along the course will keep the energy high with pulsating beats.
Every participant receives a complimentary neon light bundle upon registration, adding to the festive glow that illuminates the track as darkness falls. The event also features an onsite bar and food van for runners and spectators looking to relax, refuel, or simply soak in the lively atmosphere before and after their run.
Registration opens at 6 PM, allowing ample time for participants to collect their race numbers and neon light bundles while getting familiar with the course layout. Children aged eight years old and under participating in the 2.5K distance must be accompanied by an adult who also holds a ticket for any of the event distances.
Upon crossing the finish line, every runner is awarded not only a custom-designed medal but also chip timing to track their performance accurately. Additionally, all participants gain access to complimentary post-race photos capturing that neon glow and preserving this unique moment in time.
The evening concludes with an intimate mini-post race party where music continues to play as runners mingle over food and drinks, celebrating the night together amidst a warm community spirit.
This event is tailored for anyone seeking a memorable running experience or looking to dive into their first-ever racing adventure. Whether you're joining us at ATW for the very first time or returning after previous races, this neon-lit run promises an unforgettable evening of fun and camaraderie.
