Your event registration includes an awesome buff from Salomon (For all the fun ways to wear a buff, cl ick here) and a LED flashers. There is also the option to purchase an limited edition event t-shirt, there will only be 400 shirts available purchase, so act fast.

Course

The course starts at the Atwood Center on the Alaska Pacific University campus and will wind around the bike paths, trails and roads around University Lake and the Alaska Pacific University campus. Look for lights and fun out on the trails. Additionally, conditions will vary with the weather on the University Lake Trails. So keep that in mind as you choose your footwear and if you are planning to run with a baby jogger.

As a portion of this run does go through the woods in University Lake park, you may want to bring your own headlamp or other illumination to help you in between the fun, lighted zones. As always, passive lighting (reflectivity) and active lighting (flashing Light) are recommended for night running.

Party

Lights and music will be the theme of the evening. A live DJ will be spinning in the Atwood courtyard. Come early and dance for your warm up!

Event parking is available in the UAA Library and Fine Arts building lots. It will be a about a 10-15 minute walk up to the APU Campus.
