Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie, Poughkeepsie NY

Monday, January 13th, 2025

🌕 Event Overview

We are celebrating the first full moon of 2025 with a casual, untimed, fun run on Monday, January 13th, at 6 p.m.

Date: January 13, 2025
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: South Hills Mall parking lot, Poughkeepsie, NY
Distance: Flexible, suggested 5k route (approx. 3 laps around the parking lot)

🦺 Night Gear Requirements

Night gear is required to participate in the run or walk. That includes a light to help you see where you are going (head, waist, or wrist) and something that flashes and will help identify you as a runner to drivers for safety. It would ideally be a light-up vest or Xinglet, but a small, inexpensive clip-on blinker attached to your clothing will also work.

🎁 Participant Perks

All participants will receive the following:

Hoodie: A long-sleeved hoodie with a beautiful glow-in-the-dark wolf pack design (please read shirt descriptors carefully before making a size & gender selection)
Custom Bib: A custom bib
Finisher's Medal: A custom handmade finisher's medal, also glow-in-the-dark (image coming soon!)
Snack: A delicious black & white cookie to enjoy after the run/walk

👟 Participation Guidelines

Runners and walkers of all paces are encouraged, including those who are curious about nighttime running. Headphones are strongly discouraged, but we promise that you will be having so much fun that you definitely won’t need them!

📧 Pre-Run Communication

We will send out a pre-run email on 1/12 with pertinent details about the event. Please register with a valid email address that you check or you will miss this communication.

❓ FAQs

Minimum Age Requirement

The route is open to traffic, and since these runs will take place in the dark, this event is generally unsuitable for small children. Please use your best judgment when registering minors for this event.

Course Map

The run is around the South Hills Mall parking lot. If you are looking for more information beyond that, this event probably isn't for you :)

Waitlist Information

We will not have a waitlist for this event. There are only enough medals for open registration spots, and those who register but cannot attend will still get their goodies.

Registration Transfer

Yes! Since this is an un-timed fun run, you can transfer your registration. If you are reselling your space, you will handle that on your end. We don’t resell spaces.

Weather Policy

The run will happen even if it rains. We would only postpone the event if there were more than a dusting of snow. Should that happen, we have set an alternate date of Wednesday, February 12th, at 6 p.m.
