Our mission

At Run the Night our mission is simple: To bring communities together through the joy of running and the power of giving.

We believe in the power of community and the joy of running — especially when it's done for something bigger than ourselves. That’s why we created a unique, five-mile (8km) night run experience that brings people of all ages and abilities together to light up cities and support powerful local causes.

Illuminating Cities for a Cause

Every stride you take supports someone else’s journey, whether it’s a child in need of a hero, a family looking for hope, or a community rallying behind one of their own.

We’re proud to partner with charities in the host cities, and we’re committed to growing our impact city by city, night by night.
