Organiser's Description

Join SOAR and Point B Movement for Light the Night NYC, a concept born in London in 2023 from a conversation between two friends: Rebecca Taylor of SOAR Women and Flo Papougnot of Your Friendly Runners and Hot Boys Athletics. It's a collective movement that creates an opportunity for women to feel free and safe when running in the dark. A chance to fill dark, intimidating spaces with light and noise.

On Thursday 23rd January we’ll come together as one group, for a night of running, music, and freedom, as we light up the night with a 10 km social run across Brooklyn. Led by Julia Meyer, founder of Point B Movement, we’ll shine a light on women's safety and reclaim a favourite route lost to winter darkness, ending with refreshments and prizes at Session Training Greenpoint.

Dress Code: Light the Night
Bring out your head lamps, reflective vests, and even holiday lights. The brighter, the better! The top 3 brightest will win an exclusive gift from Knog wearable running lights and a gift card from SOAR Running.
