About the Moonlight 5K
The course runs out and back along the Housatonic River, so you get the water on both sides of the route. The road is flat the whole way, which makes it a reasonable shot at a personal best if that is what you are after. It starts in the evening, so the light and the temperature are usually more forgiving than a morning race.
The race falls during Goat Days, a local festival, so the start area at Young's Field has food trucks, live music, and fireworks going on around it. You can arrive early or stay after and fold the race into the broader evening without much effort.

The Moonlight 5K has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
