Experience the thrill of running down a closed course in front of thousands of spectators at dusk, then stick around to watch the Electric Light Parade—a unique opportunity that's exclusive to this Southwest event! Created by runners for runners, this volunteer-organized 5K offers both a 5K and 1-mile fun run option, with every participant receiving a t-shirt, race swag, and age-group awards. Plus, you'll enjoy post-race refreshments, costume prizes, team awards, and the best part: registration proceeds support free youth running programs and local high school cross-country teams, with children 14 and under always running free.
