Night Nation Run - Sacramento
The Night Nation Run in Sacramento is a running music festival at Cal Expo on Oct 24, 2026. The event blends a fun run with live music and production elements, presenting a music-filled course with live DJs, light shows, bubble zones, neon and black lights. Multiple party zones feature DJs, dancers, selfie stations, and glow-gear giveaways.
A pre-party precedes the run and the race field departs in multiple waves. After crossing the finish area, participants enter a main-stage after party with several DJs, lights, fog, cryo effects, confetti and giveaways, culminating with a surprise headliner DJ.
Registration includes a race packet, a glow necklace, free giveaways, pre- and post-race concerts, and admission to the official after party. Packet pickup is scheduled for Oct 23, 2026 at Cal Expo; pick-up requires the participant confirmation and applicable identification or waiver documentation when collecting packets for others.
The event supports Stand Up To Cancer as its official charity. Charity-related options include donating $1 to receive a customizable “I STAND UP FOR” race bib, purchasing a special charity T-shirt, or engaging in fundraising to support cancer research. Volunteer opportunities are listed for those who prefer to assist at the event and include an event T-shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
