Nocturnal 8 race is done completely in the dark.  You provide the lights.  You should expect 2-4 miles of trekking, exploring, and fun. The course (new every year) will wind its way through woods, roads, sidewalks, and random places you’d never expect. Nocturnal 8 is designed for ALL fitness levels: from serious racers to those wishing to walk and enjoy time with friends and family. We want to you GLOW! Bring lights, reflectors, glow sticks, sparklers, etc.

Along the way, you may encounter challenges and obstacles.  This race may run by yourself or as a team. The team size is unlimited, so bring as many people as you can. There are awards for the most people on a team, coolest costumes, the person that gives off the most light (most bling!), and top finishers.   To win these great prizes to win, you must complete the race and be present to win. All prizes will be given away shortly after the race is over.  

Please bring some clean clothes, dry shoes (you may get your feet wet along the way and some spare cash (strictly voluntary). This money will go towards an incredible, special, time-honored tradition that will take place after the awards. It is our chance to love our neighbors and reflect the light and love of Jesus. The rest is a secret! YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS!!  

100% of the net proceeds are going to the Kosciusko YMCA and help fund projects at Grace College.
