Event
The Dancing Lights 5K Fun Run takes place on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the Wilson County Fairgrounds, 175 Peyton Road, Lebanon, TN 37087. The event is hosted by The Dancing Lights of Christmas and Fleet Feet Mt. Juliet/Nashville as part of the Dancing Lights of Christmas season. Participants run or walk through displays of about 2 million lights set to holiday music and finish at Santa's Village, where hot chocolate and other goodies are available. This is an un-timed fun run with no chip timing; a rolling clock will be at the finish line. The course is not fully paved and is largely gravel; strollers are not recommended and, if used, should start toward the back. Pets are not permitted on the course. Children must stay with parents, and participants will not be allowed to re-enter the course after finishing.
