Light the Way 5K and Kids Run
Light the Way is a festive night run held around Fort Missoula Park on paved and gravel paths. The event features lights along the course and provides cookies and cocoa at the finish. Because the event takes place after dark, organizers strongly recommend bringing a headlamp or flashlight.
The program includes two distances:
- 5K
- 1/2 mile Kids Fun Run (free)
A course map is available that shows both routes and allows toggling between the 5K course and the kids run course. The event also includes an ugly sweater contest judged by a panel; the winner is announced immediately prior to the race start.
The description emphasizes community and holiday celebration elements, with features aimed at participants of the main 5K and families attending the kids run. The surface mix of paved and gravel paths may be relevant for footwear and pacing choices. Refreshments at the finish and illuminated course elements are part of the event experience.
