THE LITERACY VOLUNTEERS  WELCOME YOU TO THE 6th ANNUAL NEON NITE 5K RUN AND WALK 

      NOW FEATURING A TIMED 5K RUN WITH SHORTER, UNTIMED  .8 mi WALK OPTION 

      Run or walk 5K or walk 8/10 mile in the luminescent neon night and catch a rising star for literacy!

         
        ALL OF OUR EVENTS START AT 8PM SHARP. Sunset is at 8:27pm So you'll be walking and running during the most comfortable part of the day.

 

We have listened to the comments and suggestions from our participants and the police and have made important changes to our course to improve your safety, help course flow and most of all TO HAVE FUN!
In order to encourage all abilities, ages, and families we now offer TWO CHOICES for all levels of participation.
 
OUR UNTIMED WALK & STROLL OPTION
NEW THIS YEAR-  8/10mi walk course- enjoy a walk at your own pace with friends, family, youngsters and tykes who are more comfortable with a shorter distance. Your registration bib will not have a computer chip and you will not be timed. 
 
With this option we ask that you walk safely- use sidewalks where available, stay between cones and curbs for protection, watch for traffic and listen for faster runners who may be trying to pass you. NO EARPHONES PLEASE.
Milford Police are on duty but the roads are open, so be aware of your surroundings. Please follow the directions from volunteers.

 

OUR COMPUTER TIMED 5K RUN &Walk - your bib will have a computer timing chip on it
5k / 3.1mi run course - RUN OR WALK - but you must complete the entire distance to be eligible for overall champion and age group awards.
       The Milford Police are on duty but the roads are open, so be aware of your surroundings. Please follow the directions from our volunteers. Stay between cones and curbs for protection and use sidewalks if needed. NO EARPHONES PLEASE
