As darkness sweeps around the globe every November, 25,000 people worldwide get up from their armchairs, slip on their red flashing armbands and pull on their running shoes to complete a 5k or 10k run in the dark.
Connecting runners both physically and virtually across 4 continents, Run in the Dark is a global charity movement lighting up the night as people hit the road to walk or run 5k or 10k to help cure paralysis in our lifetime. Start time is usually 8pm, although this may vary, depending on your location.
If you are not located in a city with a live event or would like the flexibility of running your own route, you can sign up to our RemoteRun event.
You will time yourself using a third party app of your choosing (Strava, MapMyRun, Garmin Connect, etc.) and upload the result to our Run in the Dark website to join the global leaderboard.
Run in the Dark RemoteRun will be open from 12 to 13 November 2024.
Time your 5k or 10k using a running app of your choosing (Strava, MapMyRun, Garmin Connect, etc.).
Upload the result to our Run in the Dark website to join the global leaderboard, with runners from around the world.
