About the Light Up The Night 5k Fun Run Morrilton
This one starts after dark on a college campus, which gives it a different feel from most local 5ks. The glow-in-the-dark theme means participants light up as they go, and the campus setting keeps the route contained and easy to navigate. It is put on by the local Lions Club as a fundraiser, so the event has a neighborhood-benefit quality to it.
Food and family activities are set up before the run begins, so there is reason to arrive early and settle in. The start happens well after sunset, which is part of the point. The campus provides a natural gathering spot, and the pre-run activity area gives families somewhere to be while they wait.
