The Night Run Course
 Our biggest asset has always been our urban race course and these new courses rival any, anywhere. The courses traverse both banks of Tempe Town Lake with its stunning panoramic scenery and includes Tempe Center for the Arts, iconic pedestrian bridge, Tempe Beach Park and Mill Avenue on a Saturday night! There is a place for everyone at The Night Run. Strollers, fun-walkers, first-time racers, parents, grandparents, volunteers, and hard-core runners alike can come together and succeed, and enjoy a wonderful May evening in a unique setting. Come early to enjoy our popular "Owl's Nest" Expo before the 5K, 8K, or Kids Dash (8 & under), stay late and celebrate on Mill Avenue! Click here or scroll to see our course map below. Please check back often as we update details and information.
Prizes
 The Night Run gives away thousands of dollars' worth of prizes including VISA cash cards, free 2016 entries, Massage Envy massages, Diamondbacks baseball tickets, Alebedo reflective spray and much, much more. Make sure you take your free spin on our Prize Wheel before the prizes run out. One spin per bib number. HINT: Come early!
