About the Event

Bennett Park transforms after sunset into a glowing, high-energy playground for an unforgettable night run. Under neon lights and blacklight glow, the trails come alive with runners decked out in bright colors, creating a vibrant, party-like atmosphere for families, friends, and competitors alike.

This cross-country night event kicks off Sunday, September 13th, starting at 6:30 PM. Choose your adventure: a family-friendly 2-mile run or the full 4-mile course that takes you around the entire park utilizing trails and a route never seen before—no loops, just pure nighttime excitement. The 4-mile run begins at 7:30 PM, followed by the 2-mile at 7:45 PM.

Bring your headlamp or flashlight—it’s required—and keep an eye out for the mysterious red eyes glowing around the ponds. Capture the moment at the selfie wall with your crew, and soak in an atmosphere that’s more fun than you thought possible. This isn’t just a race—it’s a neon-lit memory in the making.
