Blacklight Run | Nashville 2027

The Blacklight Run™ is none other than the brightest, most fun 5K out there. At the Blacklight Run™ we aren’t focused on how fast or how far you can run, what type of exercise you enjoy, or if you’re an avid runner. We don’t care if you’ve never run a day in your life! Instead, we welcome any and all participants looking for a glowing good time. Whether you sprint it, run it, or walk it, it doesn’t matter to us! We simply want you to enjoy it. This up to three miles race will be the best event you’ve ever spent with your friends and family—we promise.

The Blacklight Run™ has been setup with very simple rules
1) Wear a white shirt (any white T-shirt will work).

2) You will finish covered in Blacklight Run™ UV Glow Powder, that will glow in our Blacklight Zones™ and at the Blacklight Run After Party™. By the end, you will look like you fell into a Ghost Buster’s movie (minus the slime) and covered with different colored Blacklight Run™ UV Liquid Glow. This is the first of its kind at night and is quickly sweeping the nation!
