About the Event

The first race in the 2026 Moon City Challenge, this new Moonlight Glow 5K run is an evening race at Veteran's Park in Wapakoneta. Starting at 9:15 p.m., runners will run by moonlight to earn their special Glow In The Dark medal, and check off the first run in this year's edition of the Moon City Challenge. Featuring glow-in-the dark t-shirts as swag, runners are encouraged to add glow-in-the-dark necklaces, bracelets, shoelaces -- even deely-boppers to help light their way from the starting gate to the finish line!
