About the Severance Glow 5K Run or Walk

This is a night run through Severance, so the whole point is the dark. The course leaves a baseball field at the community park, follows the Great Western Trail out toward an elementary school, and comes back the same way. People show up dressed in glow gear, and the organizers hand out glow sticks before the start so you can add to whatever you brought.

A DJ runs music at the start and finish area. After the race, High Country Beverage provides drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, at the after-party back at the park.

Common Questions About the Severance Glow 5K Run or Walk

Will I finish last at the Severance Glow 5K Run or Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:16, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Severance Glow 5K Run or Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 208 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Severance Glow 5K Run or Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 0:09 while the median finisher took 36:16. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
