The course begins at the Liberty Community Center and leads runners through Westboro/Canterbury Park. Because the event occurs after dark, the use of glow-in-the-dark gear is a central theme of the experience.
Purpose and Support
The event serves as a fundraiser for the Liberty Parks & Rec Foundation (LPRF) Youth Scholarship Program. This foundation was established in 2006 to support neighborhood park expansion, the preservation of green spaces, and financial assistance for low-income families.
Proceeds from the registration fees help provide scholarships for youth programs and memberships at the Liberty Community Center. These funds are used to ensure that local children have access to various recreational activities regardless of their financial situation. Since 2009, the program has provided significant financial aid to thousands of individuals in the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
