Night Owl 5K, Hike Challenge and Fun Run
The excitement of competition paired with the thrill of the trails at night make our Night Owl 5K a race to remember! Come dressed in your favorite winter pajamas or festive holiday outfit - a prize will be given for the top 3 best-dressed! The Night Owl 5K starts and finishes at the Lake Haigler entrance, so participants and spectators may order food and drinks from the restaurant, Greenway Canteen, shop for gear and memberships in the visitor center and enjoy popular Greenway trails!
Don't want to run but still want the experience? Choose the Hike Challenge! The Hike Challenge offers the same opportunity to experience the 5K course at night but without being timed.
Fun Run/Walk: Get in on the race night fun with a 1-mile, untimed trail run/walk. Enjoy the nighttime trail atmosphere without the pressure of competition. The Fun Run/Walk starts and finishes alongside the 5K, so participants and spectators can enjoy everything the Night Owl experience has to offer. Fun Run/Walk participants will receive a finisher's prize at the finish line to celebrate their achievement.
Register today, and feel free to glow-up with headlamps, glow sticks and flashlights.
