Night Nation Run Raleigh

Night Nation Run in Raleigh takes place on Aug 22, 2026 at Koka Booth Amphitheatre, 8003 Regency Pkwy, Cary, NC 27518. The event blends a music festival and a fun run, with a pre-party before the run and a main stage after party following the finish.

The course features multiple party zones with live DJs, dancers, light shows, bubble zones, neon and black lights, selfie stations, and glow gear giveaways. The event encourages participants to dance and enjoy the course rather than focus on setting a 5K personal record.

Registration provides a race packet, a glow necklace, free giveaways, admission to pre and post race concerts, and entry to the official after party. Packet pickup is available on Aug 21, 2026 at Koka Booth Amphitheatre; participants who pick up packets in advance do not need to check in at the event.

Night Nation Run supports Stand Up To Cancer. Options related to fundraising include donating $1 to receive a customizable I STAND UP FOR race bib, purchasing a themed T shirt, or signing up to fundraise.
