Dancing Lights 5 K Fun Run

Dancing Lights 5 K Fun Run takes place in Lebanon, Tennessee, on November 6, 2026. One distance is offered, a 5K fun run, and it goes off at 7:00 p.m., which means running in the dark on a November evening.

Night racing calls for a couple of adjustments. Wear something reflective or lit, look further ahead than you would in daylight so you can read the ground, and take the opening quarter mile cautiously until your eyes settle. Past that, a 5K is a 5K: fast enough to hurt, short enough that you will have recovered by the weekend. The fun-run framing makes it a good first race, since nobody will think twice if you walk part of it, and a Friday start leaves Saturday open.
