About the Peoples Bank Midnight Flight
The Midnight Flight runs in the evening, with the shorter distance going first and the full course following later in the night. Both routes start and finish at the Anderson Area YMCA, so the crowd stays anchored in one place. Running after dark gives the whole thing a different feel than a morning race, quieter in some ways and sharper in others.
Packet pickup runs through the afternoon and into the evening at the YMCA, drive-through style until the parking lot gets busy, then walk-up after that. Registration is handled online only, so come with your bib already sorted and go straight to the pickup line.

The Peoples Bank Midnight Flight has been held every year since at least 2018. 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.
