About the race
The Harvest Moon Run is a nighttime 5K run and walk held at Historic Route 66 State Park in Eureka, Missouri. The event uses pathlighters and participant headlights on a paved, mostly flat course and finishes under the moonlit sky. Five kilometer participants receive an Energizer headlight and a signature long sleeve t shirt is available with certain registration options.
The event date is October 10, 2026. Online registration is open until October 6, 2026. Packet pickup is available the day before at The Timbers of Eureka Recreation Center and on race day at Route 66 State Park.
