Night Howler 50
Hoover, United States • 28 Jun 2025
The Night Howler 50 is a unique overnight 50-mile ultramarathon held at Hoover Sports Park East in Hoover, Alabama. Starting at sunset, runners tackle a 2.5-mile loop course marked with flags and glowsticks, featuring flat terrain with minor inclines, wooded trails, and a bridge crossing over the Cahaba River. Participants complete 20 laps within a 16-hour cutoff to earn a custom belt buckle.
The event welcomes both first-time 50-milers and seasoned ultrarunners. Aid stations are located at the start/finish area, which also accommodates crew setups and pacers. Runners must bring their own hydration gear, as the race is cup-less.
The race offers custom shirts and awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
