Bennett Park at Dark

Bennett Park at Dark is a cross-country night running event at Bennett Park in Bradenton, Florida, held on September 13, 2026. The course is run after sunset and features neon lighting and blacklight effects along park trails. Participants should expect illuminated sections, a selfie wall on site, and red glowing lights near the ponds. A headlamp or flashlight is required.

Two distances are offered:

• 2 Miles family-friendly two-mile course
• 4 Miles four-mile course around the entire park using trails, not a looped course

Registration opens May 1, 2026 and closes May 2, 2026. Registration fees listed are $20 for the 2-mile event and $30 for the 4-mile event. The organizer also lists a referral incentive that refunds $20 for every four people who register through a participant's link; sufficient referrals can cover the registration fee.

The event uses park trails and highlights nighttime visibility features rather than closed-road racing infrastructure. The venue address is 400 Cypress Creek Blvd, Bradenton, FL 34208, United States. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
