WHAT MAKES THIS RUN EPIC?

A COURSE THAT GLOWS
As the sky fades to dusk, the campus lights up with neon colors, glowing displays, and a full tunnel of lights that will make you feel like you’re running through another dimension. The course features three full loops around NSU, starting and ending right in front of Seminary Hall. Glowsticks? Everywhere. Neon? Mandatory. Energy? Off the charts.

VIBES FOR DAYS
Expect music, cheering, glowing decorations, and a crowd that’s ready to hype you up from start to finish. Whether you’re sprinting or strolling, you’ll feel the excitement the entire way.

EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL
Cross the finish line, and you’ll walk away with a medal — because every participant deserves to shine. Plus, special 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals will be awarded to the top three overall 5K finishers.

No professional timing company this year, but don’t worry — we’ll have volunteers recording everyone’s finish times.

Join us for a night of fun, fitness, and community spirit!
