Nocturnal 12

Rochester, United States • 18-19 Oct 2025

Nocturnal 12 is a 12-hour fixed-time endurance race held in Rochester, NY, along the paved Lake Ontario State Parkway Trail between Island Cottage Road and Dewey Avenue. Participants can walk or run as many 2.06-mile out-and-back laps as they wish within the 12-hour window, making it walker and mobility-impaired friendly. The course is mostly flat but unlit, so headlamps or flashlights are required, with reflective gear encouraged for safety.

The event features a night-time theme with an all-night aid station offering various snacks tailored to dietary preferences. Racers receive a race packet including a bib, a wooden medallion, a shirt, and other goodies. Team participation and various awards add to the event's community spirit.
