About the Moonlight 5K and Twilight Kids Run
The Moonlight 5K runs in the evening, so you are out at dusk or after dark in Bel Air. Costumes and bright, colorful clothing are part of the spirit here, and runners show up dressed for it. There is also a kids' run for younger ones who want in on the action.
Post-race, there is food and a drink option waiting, including beer from a local brewery for those who want it, or a frozen treat as an alternative. The atmosphere after the finish feels more like a block party than a typical race wind-down.

The Moonlight 5K and Twilight Kids Run has been held every year since at least 2012. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
