The Light Run

The Light Run is a community fun run on 12/15/2026 at Ballard Park in Pitman, New Jersey, with an after party at Merryman's Pub, 110 S. Broadway. The course covers approximately 3.1 miles (5K) through neighborhood streets featuring holiday lights.

Participants receive a custom "Light Run" signature gift and a drink ticket for the after party. Raffles are presented at the after party. The event supports Pitman Parks & Recreation. Unwrapped toy donations for Toys for Tots are accepted at the beginning of the run but are not required.

This event is organized as a FUN RUN rather than a timed race. Roads are not closed and the majority of the route can take place on sidewalks. Pedestrian laws should be followed. All ages are welcome; children should be accompanied by an adult.

The run is co-sponsored by Mean Guy Running and Good Day for a Run. Registration opens 7/21/2026 and closes 10/31/2026. The registration fee is $20.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
