The evening event is open to runners and walkers of all ages. Participants, who are encouraged to light up with glow sticks, neon clothing and glow-in-the-dark accessories, will glimmer as they run, jog or walk along a 3.1-mile course on Equestrian Trail.

Customized membership packages are available for purchase at any of the city's six recreation centers and Heritage Park Senior Facility.
