Night Nation Run - Raleigh
Night Nation Run in Raleigh is presented as a running music festival at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, North Carolina on August 22, 2026. The event combines a fun run with live music elements along the course and an on-site main stage after party.
The course features multiple party zones with live DJs, dancers, light shows, bubble zones, neon and black lights, selfie stations, and glow-gear giveaways. After finishing the run, participants enter a main stage area with additional DJs, lights, fog, cryo, confetti, giveaways, and a surprise headliner DJ.
Registration for the event includes a race packet, a glow necklace, free giveaways, pre- and post-race concerts, and admission to the official after party. Ticketing information lists a limited sale price of $44.99 (noting fees) and a full price of $70, with the limited sale ending on Sun 7/12.
Packet pickup is scheduled the day before the event at the same venue. Participants are asked to bring their confirmation that includes a personalized barcode to expedite pickup. If collecting packets for others, the collector must bring a copy of the other person’s ID and a signed waiver, which is available for download.
The event lists Stand Up To Cancer as its official charity and offers options to donate $1 for a customizable race bib, purchase a charity T-shirt, or register as a fundraiser to support SU2C’s research programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
