Event summary

Join us for the vibrant Second Annual Around Our Town Glow Race on Saturday, September 16, 2023, in the heart of North Vernon, Jennings! This exciting evening event is perfect for the entire family, featuring a 5K race (3.14 miles) and a 1-mile walk or run. Both races kick off at 7:00 PM, starting across from the North Vernon Police Department parking lot and winding through the charming downtown area. Participants can take part at their own pace, whether running or walking, and are encouraged to "glow it up" with creative outfits and complimentary glow sticks provided for all racers.

This year, proceeds will go toward a mural project designed by local youth, which will be unveiled in May 2024. Don’t miss out on the vibrant afterparty featuring music, games, and a beer garden to celebrate your accomplishment. Pre-registration ends on September 14th, so grab your friends and family to light up the night and promote wellness in our community!

Organiser's description

North Vernon Main Street is proud to host the Second Annual AROUND OUR TOWN GLOW RACE - an event the whole family can enjoy!

We offer two types of races:
1. 5K distance (3.14 miles) that will start on Main Street across from the NVPD parking lot and wind its way through downtown North Vernon. Participants in the 5K can either run or walk - go at your own speed!
2. 1-mile walk or run. This route loops you through the iconic areas of downtown North Vernon.

The race will begin at 7:00pm across from the North Vernon Police Department parking lot. Participants can register through this portal before race day or on-site before the race begins.
Pre-registration will end at 9:00pm on Thursday, September 14th. On-site registration and pre-registered packet pick-up will begin at 5:30pm during the day of the race.

Everyone will receive complimentary glow sticks to carry or wear during the event and special race goodies. Feel free to "glow it up" even more with your own GLOW outfit!

The purpose of the GLOW Race is to light up the night with some fun, showcase our downtown, and promote wellness in our community. We are raising money this year to support a mural project designed by our local youth that will be installed on the side of 263 E. Walnut Street in May 2024. Support our kids and support arts and culture by participating in this fun event!

After you finish the race, stay for the afterparty! We will have music, games, a beer garden, and more to make the evening fun and memorable.
