Night Owl 9K
Williamsburg, United States • 28 Jun 2025
The Night Owl 9k is a challenging trail race held at Freedom Park in Williamsburg, Virginia. The 9-kilometer course features a mix of single track, fire road, and paved trails with rolling hills and technical sections including roots and twists, ideal for runners familiar with mountain bike-style trails. The race starts and finishes in a meadow near the Botanical Garden area within the park.
It welcomes both runners and walkers, with no time limit for finishers, and encourages participants to bring personal illumination if finishing late. The event includes a post-race party with beer, pizza, and educational displays about owls. Awards are given across multiple age groups and categories, and a portion of proceeds supports Nature's Nanny Wildlife Rehab.
The race is part of the Colonial Road Runner Grand Prix series and takes place rain or shine, with a contingency plan for severe weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
