NEON Night 5k Run/Walk

NEON Night 5k Run/Walk, held at Rutledge Wilson Farm Park (3825 W Farm Rd 146) in Springfield, Missouri, offers a glowing, family-friendly fundraiser for NAMI Southwest Missouri’s suicide-prevention efforts. The event features a 5k timed run/walk and a 1-mile run/walk (not timed) through an illuminated, neon-lit course. This nighttime event is described as the area’s coolest, most eye-dazzling glow experience.

Attendees enjoy LED lights, a neon glow atmosphere, a DJ, a Glow Zone, and a Photo Booth, with an illuminated Memorial Garden where luminaries memorialize those lost to suicide. Participants receive a unique event t-shirt and glow gear. All proceeds support mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
