- Break out your headlamp (or flashlight) and running shoes for the 4th annual A Shot in the Dark Night Race. Once the sun has set and the trails are dark, participants take on the 5k or 10k distance through the trail system along the Catawba River. Stick around after the race to enjoy s’mores, hot chocolate, and a nice tall beer next to the bonfire. Be sure to join us for an evening of brisk night running at the USNWC.
