PLEASE NOTE: For runners of the 5K , headlamps are not required but are suggested. The course will NOT have overhead lighting. Runway edge lights will be turned on to their highest intensity. However, this is merely for guidance. Sunset is at 7:36 PM, and Civil Twilight ends at 8:02 PM, which basically means you can no longer see any daylight.
