THE COURSE: The entire course will have LED tea lights on the RIGHT side of the trail. While these do not illuminate the trail, you will see them every 30 feet or so to help let you know you are still on course.
Mile 1 starts you out on a wide paved bike trail. This helps runners spread out and get the feel for night running. This paved trail will lead you to more wide trails in the grass prairie. Mile 2 moves you into the woods onto a single track dirt trail that is well maintained and perfect for this nighttime event. You will hit short stretches of pavement and be greeted by our PUMP UP crew a few times en route to a few more rolling hills and single track until you hear the music and see the biggest party in the distance at the finish line. When you finish the race make sure you stay for the after party! The party will be LIT with a live DJ, paint station, and refreshments to enjoy under the neon lights.
