Light the Night Flannel 5K

Light the night at Waterford Oaks County Park as we kick off the Fireworks and Flannels two-day event! The evening begins with the opening of the lighted trail. After the race, enjoy a cozy bonfire, hot cocoa and a quiet night under the stars.

The Light the Night Flannel 5K is out and back on paved and unpaved surfaces. View the race map. The event takes place when there is inclement weather and often snow, so please plan appropriately. Leashed dogs are allowed. 

Race cost is $28/person. Each participant will receive a race beanie, medal and drink ticket for the Sat., Feb. 14 beer tent, part of the Fireworks and Flannels Cozy Night Out event. In addition to the beer tent, enjoy food trucks, music, fireworks and other activities on Feb. 14.
