Into the Darkness Night Trail Run

The Into the Darkness Night Trail Run is scheduled for October 25, 2025 at Explore Park in Roanoke, Virginia. The event is presented as a family oriented night trail run and is described as the 19th edition.

The course covers approximately 3.6 miles through Explore Park. It begins with about 0.25 miles of asphalt road before moving onto twisty, rolling single track for the remainder of the route. Trails are marked with reflective arrows and glow sticks, and organizers include the occasional surprise that is described as not scary.
