Saratoga First Night Glow Run (Saratoga Springs, NY)
The Saratoga First Night Glow Run is scheduled for December 31, 2026 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The event offers both in-person and virtual options and includes multiple distance choices for participants.
- 5K in-person and virtual
- 10K in-person and virtual
Participants receive glow-themed items such as a glow in the dark shirt, a glow in the dark medal, and a glow foam light. Virtual participants can complete their distance during a specified window and submit a time; organizers will mail swag and a finisher medal if packet pickup is not attended.
An optional Beastmode Fitness Run Challenge is available. For this challenge participants may do one of three options to earn a Beastmode Slider that attaches to the finisher medal ribbon: run the race wearing a ruck or weighted vest; log 100 miles in December; or complete the Saratoga Ugly Sweater Team Santa vs Team Grinch Run on December 13, 2026.
The event includes separate recognition and awards for run clubs, teams, and businesses, with team rankings based on the average finish time of members. Information about packet pickup, awards, and results is noted as coming soon. Volunteer roles are listed as available to support event operations and atmosphere.
