AdventHealth Nighthawk Trail Run
The AdventHealth Nighthawk Trail Run is an evening trail race held at Colt Creek State Park in Lakeland, Florida. The event uses loop courses on existing unpaved trails and includes measured, well-marked routes. Maps are provided for each distance.
The trails may include soft sand, standing water, mud, rocks, roots, and wildlife. Strollers, baby joggers, and pets are prohibited on the courses. All runners in the 5K event must wear a battery powered headlamp.
Distances
- Night Owl 5K Trail Run, 3.1 miles
- Coyote 10K Trail Run, 6.2 miles
- Nighthawk 15K Challenge, run both races back to back
There is a park admission fee of $2 to $4 to enter Colt Creek State Park. Amenities listed for the event include a premium cotton race shirt, finisher medals for each distance, and an extra bonus medal for those who register for and complete the Nighthawk Challenge. The event uses chip timing, posts awards three deep in five year age groups, and offers post race food and drinks.
Because the races take place on wilderness trails, participants should recognize the inherent risks of trail running and prepare for variable footing and natural obstacles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
