Transform your Saturday night into an electrifying digital adventure with the TRON Night Run, set for Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 7 PM along the Canoga Park stretch of the LA River Path. This themed event, inspired by the iconic TRON universe, offers 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances—and a virtual “Multiverse” option—for participants ready to glow in grid-patterned lightwear and LED gear.
Runners tackle one looped course, lit by neon glow sticks and energetic LED lighting, evoking the aesthetic of the Grid. All distances kick off together at 7 PM, with a fun, community-focused atmosphere that walks the line between playful cosplay event and nighttime endurance challenge. Finishers earn custom neon-themed medals, have access to photo ops, and can opt for swag like glow necklaces and LED accessories.
The event prides itself on inclusivity—non-racing costumed fun is encouraged, timers support walkers, and a virtual option (“Multiverse”) allows participation from anywhere in the world between August 16–18. Organized by Jed & Ted’s Excellent Races, it’s a low-pressure, entertaining spin on the traditional race weekend—ideal for social runners, theme-run enthusiasts, and anyone curious about night-running under the stars.
