Dark 2 Dawn Night Trail Races

Dark 2 Dawn Night Trail Races invite runners to explore Indian Camp Creek Park's scenic trails under the cover of darkness. This all-night trail run offers three challenging options: a 10K, a 6-hour timed ultra, and a grueling 9-hour event. The race begins at 8 PM on June 5, 2027, with participants having until midnight to start their respective courses.
The loop course is approximately 6.7 miles long, featuring rolling hills and a mix of open fields and wooded singletrack trails. Runners will face flat terrain interspersed with gentle inclines, testing endurance over the night's duration. The race aims to support diversity in trail running through its partnership with the Trail Mix Fund, which waives registration fees for those who cannot afford them.
Registration on race day is available but comes with limited swag options and a cash-only payment method. Participants receive custom finisher medals upon completion, along with post-race snacks and beverages at the start/finish area where aid stations will be set up to provide water, electrolytes, gels, and first-aid supplies.
The event encourages runners to embrace sustainability by bringing their own cups and mess kits for waste reduction. Awards are given to top male, female, and non-binary performers based on loop completion and time efficiency in the 10K, 6-hour, and 9-hour categories.
