Get ready for an exciting year of running with the Thirteen Moon Challenge 2024-25, taking place from July 18, 2024, to July 31, 2025, in the picturesque East Amherst, Erie. This unique event invites participants to complete 13 consecutive full moon runs within a calendar year, making it a fantastic way to connect with nature and fellow running enthusiasts.

A full moon run is defined as a run or walk that occurs between moonrise and moonset on nights when the moon is at least 96% full, typically allowing for flexibility over a 3-4 day period each month. The challenge not only encourages physical fitness but also fosters a sense of community, with hosted events available for participants to join alongside fellow members of the WNY Full Moon Run Group. To get the most out of this exhilarating experience, prospective participants are encouraged to join the Facebook group, where they can find valuable resources, ask questions, and familiarize themselves with the challenge rules. Don’t miss this chance to embrace the magic of the moon and enhance your running journey!
