Night Owl Trail Race

Get ready for an evening adventure on the trails! The Night Owl Trail Race combines the excitement of nighttime running with the fun of a festive atmosphere. Participants tackle a 5K course starting and finishing at Lake Haigler, all while the trails are lit by the glow of headlamps and flashlights. Come in your coziest winter pajamas or holiday outfit—the three best-dressed runners will win prizes! Between the race and festivities, you can grab food and drinks from Greenway Canteen or browse gear at the visitor center. Not interested in the competitive 5K? You have options! Try the untimed 5K Hike Challenge for the same route without the clock pressure, or join the 1-mile Fun Run/Walk, which wraps up with finisher's prizes for all participants. Just remember: everyone needs to bring their own lighting—flashlights or headlamps are essential for safe trail navigation.
