Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem Half Marathon

Pleasant Garden, United States • 6 Sep 2025

The Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem Half Marathon and 10K is a unique trail running event held at Hagan-Stone Park in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina. Participants can choose from half marathon and 10K distances, with races offered both in the daytime and at night. The well-groomed trails provide a scenic and safe course for running under daylight and moonlight.

Evening races start near sunset, so many runners finish in the dark, requiring headlamps or flashlights. Runners completing both day and night events receive two medals that connect into one ultimate medal. The event also offers virtual race options and ruck races, with registration including custom hoodies, medals, live results, and post-race refreshments.
