Don’t let the dog days get you down! When it gets a little warm in the Carolinas we play after the sun goes down!Come hang out at dusk for our first ever Summer Nights 5K! The setting sun paired with the shade of our trails will make for the “coolest” race you can do around here in mid-July! Don’t tell anyone… but we may shave a minute or two off your time if you choose to take a dip in Lake Wylie as you run along the beautiful shoreline.
Participants can enjoy one of the best pre-race settings around at our new Trailhead Store that is shaded by old growth trees and situated right beside our beautiful ponds. Hydrate, hang out, cool off in the A/C as you prepare for a magical race during the golden hour in the Garden.
After the race is over, participants will receive free entry to the Garden to enjoy our summer exhibit: “Summer Lights.” This one-of-a-kind exhibit will make you feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical paradise. Especially with a seasonal cocktail or delicious summer beer in your hand!
Custom awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers and the top three male and female finishers 14 and under thru 60 and better in five year age increments.
Summer Nights 5K and 1 Miler is a trail race.
