On June 5, 2027, the Night at the Arcade presents an exhilarating trail running experience under the stars. The course features a diverse mix of narrow paths and single-track trails that wind through rugged terrain with smaller inclines and rocky sections. Each loop includes approximately 450 feet of elevation gain and loss, challenging runners to push their limits in this scenic setting. The event kicks off at dusk, offering four different distance options: the grueling 57K race starting at 6:00 PM, followed by the 28-mile run beginning at 7:00 PM. The half marathon starts at 7:30 PM and a shorter yet intense 7-mile race begins an hour later. For those looking for something more relaxed, a 5k option also departs from the start line at 8:00 PM. Participants can look forward to full aid stations throughout the course, ensuring runners stay hydrated and fueled during their night run. The event is meticulously organized with outstanding volunteer support, creating an encouraging atmosphere as competitors navigate the trails under moonlight. Every runner receives custom medals or buckles to commemorate their achievement, along with a choice of swag items from a selection available on-site. To cap off the experience, free race photos capture every moment of this unforgettable night run through the woods. The detailed route and elevation profiles can be accessed online for preparation ahead of time.
