About the 18th Annual Night Owl Run
The course runs through Livingston at dusk, starting behind a local hospital and covering a route that takes runners into the evening light. It reads as a run that leans into the novelty of racing after dark rather than chasing a fast time.
Packet pickup happens at the Civic Center in the days before the race, not at the start line, so plan accordingly. After finishing, there is a BBQ and beverages at Miles Park Band Shell, which gives the post-race gathering a proper destination rather than just a parking lot.
