Glow in the Garden 5k

The Glow in the Garden 5k is a vibrant night run held in Rockford, Illinois, featuring a flat and scenic course along the Rock River Recreation Path and the Nicholas Conservatory/Sinnissippi Gardens. Participants are encouraged to wear glowing attire as the route is illuminated with black lights, laser lights, and other glow surprises, creating a festive atmosphere. The race includes a chip-timed 5k, a free kids' 100-meter fun run, and post-race activities like wishing lanterns and family games.

Registration covers a T-shirt, beverage, and conservatory admission. The event welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities but does not allow strollers or dogs due to path constraints. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
