2026 - On Your Mark, Get Set, Glow

Ready… set… GLOW!

Join us on Friday, March 13 at 6:30 p.m. for a free, untimed 2-mile Family Fun Run at M.A.T.S. Trail along Bridges Street! This glowing good time is the perfect opportunity to get outside with family and friends while discovering (or rediscovering!) one of Morehead City’s hidden gems. This out and back run will begin at SaltWorx (4206 Bridges St.) and head toward West Carteret High School. The turn around point will be at the 1-mile mark where Parks & Recreation staff members will be waiting to direct you.

We’ll be providing plenty of fun glow items, and participants are encouraged to bring flashlights to brighten the path. This event is free and open to all ages.

Games, glow face painting, and music will begin at 6:30 p.m. with the race starting promptly at 7 p.m.

Start/Finish line and parking will be available at SaltWorx (4206 Bridges Street).

The Frosty Flounder and Sofi's Coffee & Healthy Protein Shakes will be on-site serving cold treats!

Lace up, get moving, and help us light up the M.A.T.S. Trail like never before!

Advance registration is recommended but will also be available at the Parks and Recreation tent before the event starts.
