BLINK: Run the Night
BLINK: Run the Night is a nighttime running event presented by Pig Works and BLINK, Illuminated by ArtsWave. It takes place the evening before the BLINK 2026 festival in downtown Cincinnati and gives participants early access to select BLINK installations before the festival opens to the public.
The event begins at Elm Street Plaza and follows a unique 2.6-mile (4.18 km) route through downtown Cincinnati. The run combines movement with art and music by routing participants past illuminated installations; the full course route and the list of featured installations will be revealed soon.
Entry includes access to select BLINK installations, an opportunity to collaborate on an interactive art display at Elm Street Plaza, and a commemorative finisher medal. Space for the event is limited. The event date is Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
