Music Festival meets Fun Run Night

This can’t-miss event is more than a 5K, but a music festival meets fun run night out to experience a music filled course of live DJs, light shows and neon and black lights! Runners can expect lots of music, dancing, party zones, selfie stations, a lantern land, a bubble world and more!

Once runners cross the finish line the party doesn’t stop—as they head straight into the Epic Main Stage After Party featuring top headliner DJs to dance the night away as lights, fog, cryo, confetti guns and giveaways rain down.

Giving back

Night Nation Run is a fun and healthy way to experience a music festival and give back to the community all at once as a portion of proceeds benefits Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), the groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research.

Celebrate Life. Celebrate friends and family. Celebrate Music. Run with the Night Nation!

See you there!
