Northern Lights Glow Run

The Northern Lights 5K Color Glow Run is an annual fundraising event held in Ely, Minnesota, at Whiteside Park. This family-friendly race welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, including wheelchair users. The paved course features gentle hills and street lighting, winding through multiple glow zones as the sun sets, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.

Runners and walkers are encouraged to wear glow gear, and all registered participants receive a glow item. The event supports the Northern Lights Clubhouse, which provides mental health programming and community support. Prizes are awarded for top finishers, creative costumes, and best glow.
