WHAT MAKES THIS RACE UNIQUE
- You run at night with a glow baton in your hand. Every runner gets a RUN/LED light-changing glow foam baton. 6:30 PM start. The course lights up. You light up. It's a rave with a finish line.
- The City throws the party — and it's the kind that sells out. This isn't a runner's race. This is the City of Pembroke Pines throwing a full-blown party for you. Music, lights, energy. Show up ready to celebrate, not just compete.
- Free beer for runners 21+. Cross the line, crack one open. Earned it.
- No sunrise grind. 6:30 PM start time. Run in the cool of the night, then keep the night going. Your Saturday morning stays yours.
RACE HISTORY
9 years strong! Pines Light Up The Night has become the City of Pembroke Pines' signature nighttime running event — a glow-baton, after-dark 5K that turns the city into a rolling light show every February, with the kind of community party energy that sells out year after year.
