We are in our third year of this unique event! Run through the candle-lit woods of Explore Park with your headlamp or flashlight. Each mile will be marked by bluegrass music. Once you make it to the finish line there will be live music and moonshine cocktails for all! This 5K is great for the casual runner/walker and the serious trail racers!
