Lunartic 5K Run/Walk

🌕 Event Overview

The Lunartic (Lunar-tic) 5K run/walk is a nighttime event held on the eve of a full moon (or near full moon) along the beautiful shoreline of the Smithville Lake trails. The name was derived from the craziness of running under a full moon! This is a fun, family-friendly event.

• Recommendation: Bring a headlamp or flashlight as it does get very dark under the tree canopy.
• Timing: This chip-timed race will be run point-to-point beginning at the Smoke and Davey trailhead and ending at Sailboat Cove.
• Parking: DO NOT park at the start. There is ample parking at the finish and runners will be shuttled to the start line via school bus.
• Bus Schedule: The last bus will leave for the starting line at 8:20pm.
