Event summary

Join us for the Franklin All Nighter on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, through Sunday, November 8th, 2026, in Chapel Hill, Orange! This exciting event invites individuals and teams to run or walk all night long to raise awareness and funds for vital mental health services in our community. Participants will tackle a friendly one-mile loop, starting in the University Baptist Church parking lot and navigating through the scenic streets of Chapel Hill. With no major street crossings, itโ€™s an easy and enjoyable route for everyone to participate!

This fun run is all about setting your own goals, whether you want to cover a few laps or challenge yourself to go the distance. Base camp at the church will offer a welcoming space to take breaks, refuel, and enjoy various entertainment throughout the night. While you can leave whenever you need, we encourage everyone to return on Sunday morning for a celebratory breakfast, where youโ€™ll get to hear from the organizations benefiting from your fundraising efforts and receive special participant awards. Donโ€™t miss this fantastic opportunity to contribute to mental health awareness while enjoying a memorable night under the stars!

Organiser's Description

PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH!

Sign up as an individual or with friends to run or walk all night with us as we raise awareness and funds for mental health in our local community. Funds raised will support mental health services for:
UNC students (offered through UNC Counseling and Psychological Services [https://caps.unc.edu/] - "CAPS")
UNC student athletes (offered through UNC Athletics Mental Health and Performance Psychology program [https://www.instagram.com/unc_mhpp/] - "MHPP"), and
The unhoused in Orange County (offered through the Street Outreach, Harm Reduction & Deflection [https://www.orangecountync.gov/2576/Street-Outreach-Harm-Reduction-and-Defle] team - "SOHRAD")

We'll be following a roughly one-mile loop route along sidewalks all night long. The route starts in the University Baptist Church parking lot on W. Franklin, goes to the corner at S. Columbia, takes S. Columbia down to W. Cameron, W. Cameron to Kenan, and Kenan back up to W. Franklin. It's four right turns crossing no major streets--the simplest route you'll find!

The church parking lot will serve as base camp for all participants. There they can take breaks between laps, rest, re-fuel, receive aid, or enjoy some of the entertainment and activities that will take place throughout the night. This is a "fun run"! Participants set their own goals for how much distance they want to cover throughout the night. The main purpose is to keep going and do as much as you can to raise awareness and funds for mental health.

Do you have to stay all night? No! Participants are free to leave at any point, but we do ask that they return on Sunday morning for a celebration breakfast in the church Great Hall to enjoy a well-earned meal, hear from the organizations benefiting from funds raised, and receive their special participant awards!
