BLINK: Run the Night
BLINK: Run the Night is an exclusive evening run that takes place before the BLINK festival opens. The event is set in downtown Cincinnati on Tuesday, Oct 6, 2026, and starts at Elm Street Plaza. Participants follow a unique 2.6-mile (4.18 km) route through the city and pass select BLINK installations that are open to early attendees.
The route is described as a nighttime run through downtown with art, light, and music integrated into the experience. The specific course route and the list of featured installations will be revealed at a later time. The event format includes an opportunity for participants to interact with an art display at Elm Street Plaza.
Registration provides several event items: exclusive early access to select BLINK installations; participation on the 2.6-mile nighttime route; the opportunity to collaborate on an interactive art display at Elm Street Plaza; and a commemorative finisher medal. Space for the event is limited. The event is organized by Pig Works in collaboration with BLINK, Illuminated by ArtsWave. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
