Hobart Light Night Glow Run & walk supported by St Lukes

The Hobart Light Night Glow Run & walk supported by St Lukes returns to Hobart Regatta Grounds on September 5th, 2026, in the heart of Tasmania's capital city.
Race morning at Hobart Regatta Grounds will find participants surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere. The park is aglow with anticipation as runners and walkers gather under the stars. The setting provides a picturesque backdrop for those who wish to capture the moment or simply enjoy the community spirit. As you make your way through this 5K course, you'll experience the unique charm of Hobart's natural beauty illuminated by colorful lights.
The event has been running since its inception and is deeply rooted in the local community, supporting St Lukes with every step taken during these runs. With thousands participating each year, it’s clear why this race continues to grow in popularity among locals and visitors alike. The glow run not only offers a unique night-time experience but also raises funds for essential services within the area.
For those looking to participate, the course venue is Hobart Regatta Grounds, where you'll navigate through a 4km lighted path, a 600m route designed specifically for kids, and both Jayco & ARB's 2km challenge or Rad X Radiology’s longer 8km journey. Each distance offers its own level of excitement and camaraderie.
The race begins in the cool but comfortable early evening when temperatures hover around 10 degrees Celsius with a light breeze. The humidity is typically high, so runners should expect some moisture in the air, making it feel slightly cooler than the actual temperature suggests. Rain isn't expected to be an issue; however, participants might encounter patches of wet grass due to morning dew.
