About the Carpe Diem - Carpe Noctem Half Marathon and 10K
The trails at Hagan-Stone Park are smooth and well-marked, terrain that suits runners new to trail racing as much as those who have been at it for years. What sets this race apart is the timing: you can run in the morning light, wait out the afternoon, and go again as the sun drops and the park goes dark. The evening option means headlamps.
Packet pickup happens on race day before each wave, so there is no need to travel out the evening before.

The Carpe Diem - Carpe Noctem Half Marathon and 10K has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
