Silver Moon Race: Kings River

The Silver Moon Race: Kings River is an overnight running event in Reedley, California, held on the weekend closest to the full moon. Runners start at sunset and continue through the night until sunrise, with options from 12K, 20K, and 40K to 6-hour, 12-hour, 24-hour, and 100-mile races. Relay teams of 2, 3, or 4 people can also participate, accommodating both solo runners and groups sharing the night. The course follows a 2.5-mile loop through Central California orchards and vineyards alongside the Kings River. This loop format ensures support is readily available, allows runners to establish a steady pace, and provides a less daunting entry for those new to longer distances. The event includes overnight support and camping, blending the challenge of endurance running with a full-moon running camp atmosphere by the river.
