Summer Nights 5K + 1 Miler
Summer Nights 5K + 1 Miler takes place on July 18, 2026, at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, North Carolina. The event offers the following distances:
- 5K
- 1 Miler
The course runs through a mix of environments including wooded trails, manicured gardens and the Prairie Castle Playground. Surfaces along the route include paved areas, brick pathways and trails. Dogs are not permitted because the route goes through the Gardens at Stowe.
After the run, participants who hold race bibs have exclusive access to the Gardens until the property closes that night. The 5K awards include custom prizes for the top three overall male and female finishers and top three male and female finishers in age groups from 14 and under through 70 and better in five year increments.
Fundraising is part of the event; the highest fundraising participant will receive a family plus Garden membership valued at $175. Registration fees vary by distance and by registration period, with early, regular and last chance pricing listed for each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
