About the race
The Festival of Lights 5K is an annual running event held at Veterans Memorial Park in Niagara Falls, NY. The USATF-certified course features mostly asphalt with a woodland section on packed gravel, offering runners a scenic route illuminated by a large holiday light display. Participants enjoy festive holiday music at the finish line and a post-race celebration with pizza and awards.
The event supports a charitable cause, with net proceeds used to buy toys for students at Tuscarora Indian Elementary School. The race welcomes all ages, provides professional timing services, and offers free parking and participant t-shirts for early registrants.
