About the BE THE LIGHT 5K RUN/WALK for NICU families
This one starts at dusk on a hospital campus, so the sky is fading when the first runners head out. The organizing group behind it supports NICU families, and the theme carries through to the course: runners are encouraged to wear glow gear, and the darker it gets, the better the effect. It reads less like a timed race and more like a moving show of support.
