Running of the Lights

• Running of the Lights:- Run 3.1 Miles

This event has quickly become a family favorite. Theres no better way to spend New Years Eve than with a group of family and friends running and supporting a great cause!

Start the New Year off on a healthy note! Join us for a night of fun and celebration that ends with a hot chocolate toast to the healthy New Year! This run course is an experience of a lifetime. Runners wind through the park at midnight and experience the Tanglewood Festival of Lights in a whole new way, on foot! This is by far the most scenic run course in Christmas history. It is a Christmas wonderland of lights and action. Dont miss it!

This unique event is like no other running event in the state of North Carolina. Never before has anyone had the opportunity to marvel at the Festival of Lights outside of their vehicle! Now participants can stroll through the Christmas wonderland at whatever pace they choose, and then relish in hot chocolate provided at the finish line.

The race starts at the stroke of midnight. We will celebrate the New Year with a Live Feed to New Yorks Time Square to count down the New Year and start the race!

All participants will receive Long Sleeve Dry-Fit T-shirts. If you register on site and we have run out of shirts, then we will place an additional order and mail a shirt to you.
