Summer Nights 5K

The Summer Nights 5K + 1 Miler is a unique evening running event held at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, North Carolina. Scheduled for late July, the race offers participants a scenic course featuring a mix of paved areas, brick pathways, and trails, all shaded and set during the golden hour just before dusk. The event creates a cool and magical atmosphere to beat the summer heat.

After the race, runners enjoy exclusive after-hours access to the Butterfly Bungalow, along with food trucks, beverages, and live music. Awards are given to top finishers across various age groups, and fundraising efforts support nature conservation. Dogs are not permitted.
