Dashing Thru The Glow
Dashing Thru The Glow is a festive running event held in Wilmington, North Carolina, featuring a timed 5K and an untimed 1 Mile race. Set along the scenic Cape Fear River, the event combines holiday spirit with family fun, including opportunities to take photos by a Christmas tree and meet Santa Claus. Participants receive a finisher medal, race shirt, holiday hat, glow necklace, and cookies, with a light-up holiday beanie provided to all.
The race encourages festive costumes with a Best Dressed Runner contest and supports local causes like the Coastal Horizons Open House Youth Shelter and Toys for Tots. Runners are advised to bring headlamps as parts of the course are dimly lit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
