The first race commences at 5 pm, and the course ahead is an ode to the city’s beauty.
The Moonlight Run and Walk offers something for everyone, making it more than just a run.

This inclusivity is what makes the event unique, as it welcomes participants of all skill levels and abilities.
For those who crave the thrill of the race, the 5K and 10K runs provide the perfect opportunity to test your speed and endurance. The Half Marathon is a challenge that pushes your limits, offering a chance to achieve something remarkable under the moonlit sky. And for those who can’t be there in person, the Virtual Walk and Run ensures that everyone can be a part of this incredible night.
