ATW Neon Run 5K & 10K

Dive into the vibrant world of running at Cyclopark in Gravesend for an unforgettable evening experience on Friday, October 16th, 2026. The ATW Neon Run invites runners to light up their night with a unique blend of music, neon lights, and lively camaraderie.
The event offers two distances: a 5K and a 10K race, both starting at the same time at 7PM on a well-lit track that winds through Cyclopark. Participants can enjoy a smooth tarmac path for either distance, making it suitable for runners of all levels from beginners to seasoned athletes looking for an evening adventure.
Registration begins at 6:00 PM, providing ample opportunity to pick up your race number and neon light bundle before the start time. The track itself is closed off exclusively for this event, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment where you can focus on your run without worrying about traffic or other distractions.
As you make your way around the course, four music stations will keep the energy high with pulsing beats that sync perfectly with each lap. This electrifying soundtrack complements the neon glow sticks distributed to every participant, turning the entire park into a dazzling spectacle as night falls.
After crossing the finish line, runners are invited to stay for a mini post-race party where food and drinks will be available from on-site vendors. The celebration continues under the stars with music playing until late, offering an ideal setting for socializing and sharing your achievements with friends and fellow participants in this vibrant community of runners.
Your entry includes not just the race itself but also a custom-designed medal to commemorate the event, free photos capturing the neon-lit atmosphere, and chip timing. These elements combine to create more than just a run; they offer an immersive experience that celebrates the joy of running with flair and fun.
