Glow in the Garden 5k

Get ready to light up the night at our exhilarating glow-themed 5k! Set along the breathtaking Rock River Recreation Path, with a flat and scenic route that takes you through the gardens of the Nicholas Conservatory, this is a race where your neon dreams come true! Grab your glow sticks, wear your brightest gear, and immerse yourself in an electrifying course filled with black lights and gleaming surprises.

Your 5k entry nets you an exclusive T-shirt, a refreshing beverage ticket, and an admission pass to the glowing Nicholas Conservatory. Plus, join us for our FREE Kids 200 Meter Fun Run—adorable glow bracelets included! After the race, celebrate your achievements with our Wishing Lanterns ($5 per lantern), indulge in a variety of food trucks, and enjoy the family games in the outdoor gardens. Be a part of the glowing community—no strollers or dogs, just good vibes and a radiant night run!
