The event will officially begin at 7pm with the race starting shortly after. We ask that you are parked and in the starting corral by 7pm . Due to the number of participants, traffic during parking is inevitable. Please plan accordingly!

Once all sweatshirts have run out, you will only be able to select "No Sweatshirt". Sweatshirts are adult only sizing, no youth sizes will be available. Please be advised, strollers are not recommended for this run as the course is not fully paved, largely made up of gravel. If you choose to bring a stroller, please line up toward the back of the group. Children are to stay with parents at all times. Upon completion of your race, you will not be able to re-enter the course due to liability and for your safety. Please be mindful of this as you make your way throughout the course. We appreciate your understanding on this matter. This is an un-timed fun run, there will be no chip timing for runners. There will be a rolling clock at the finish line for you to check your time as you cross. While we love pets, they will  not be permitted on the course of the Dancing Lights 5k. With the race taking place after dark, we have to first think about the safety of all runners/walkers. P ACKET PICK UP TO BE HELD AT: FLEET FEET MT. JULIET - 630 S. MT. JULIET RD., MT. JULIET TN.
