Be the Light 5K 2026

The Be The Light 5K is an evening December race based at McNair Stadium, with packet pickup and on-site registration there before the start. The main event is a 5K run/walk that starts at 6:30 PM EST, and a Fun Run follows five minutes later. The race is set up for both competitive runners and families: youth 12 and under have their own lower registration price, and the Fun Run is a separate short option. The 5K uses gun-time scoring, with awards for the top three male and female overall finishers plus the top three in age groups from under 8 through 75+. A later December rain date is listed, and shirts are only guaranteed for early registrants.
