Bright Lights 5K & Fun Run

November 26, 2025 - 6:00 PM
The night before Thanksgiving!

Ditch your normal turkey trot and start a new family tradition this year! We are pumped for the third annual Bright Lights 5K and Fun Run - a race through the Daniel Stowe Conservancy's Holiday Lights display.

Race registration includes a race bib, custom ornament (1 Mile) OR finisher medal (5K), a shot at a custom top 3 race medal, and free entry into the Holidays at the Garden lights display for a sneak peek party from 6pm-9pm before we open to the general public for the holiday season!

Get your holiday run in the day BEFORE Thanksgiving so you can spend the whole day enjoying food and family and rubbing it in everyone's face that you got to see the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden Holiday Lights before they did!
