The Night Thing
The Night Thing 2025 is a trail running event held at the Auburn Riverside Retreat along the Maitland Trail in Auburn, Ontario, Canada. Scheduled for October 24, 2025, the race offers two distances: a 7.21 km course suitable for both beginners and experienced trail runners, and a more challenging 12 km route. Participants run in darkness, so bringing a headlamp is essential.
The event fosters a unique nighttime trail running atmosphere and supports local community and charitable organizations. Registration opens in May, with limited late registration t-shirts available. The race is organized by Race Huron and emphasizes community involvement and outdoor adventure. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
