About this race
Light up the night at the Dashing in the Dark 5K, an electrifying evening run that brings energy, excitement, and a touch of mystery to every mile. As the sun sets, the course transforms—some stretches are well-lit while others are very dark—so participants are strongly encouraged to bring headlamps or flashlights to help guide their way.
We will be running through Etowah River Park in Canton, GA.
All participants will earn a custom finisher medal, shining just as brightly as the racers themselves. We’ll also present awards in the usual 5-year age groups starting at 10 & Under, celebrating fast feet across every division.
Grab your glow gear, light your path, and get ready to dash through the darkness in this unforgettable nighttime 5K!
