The Light Run
The Light Run takes place in Pitman, New Jersey on December 15, 2026. The event is based at Ballard Park with an after party at Merryman's Pub, 110 S. Broadway, Pitman, NJ.
This is a holiday-themed fun run of approximately 3.1 miles through neighborhood streets and sidewalks noted for festive lights. The event is untimed and not a race; roads are not closed and the majority of the route can be run on sidewalks. Participants should follow pedestrian laws. All ages are welcome and children should be accompanied by an adult.
Participants receive a custom "Light Run" signature gift and a drink ticket for the after party. Raffles will be presented at the after party.
The event supports Pitman Parks & Recreation and will accept unwrapped toy donations at the beginning of the run for Toys for Tots; donations are optional. The Light Run is co-sponsored by Mean Guy Running and Good Day for a Run. Registration opens July 21, 2026 and closes October 31, 2026; the registration fee is $20.00.
