Night Glow 5K

Night Glow traces its roots back to the Jackson Township 5K transitioning into the Jackson Night Glow in 1999 as part of the Jackson Star Spangled Celebration. From its humble beginnings, the race quickly grew into the beloved evening tradition it is today, continuing to foster a strong sense of community within Jackson Township and beyond. The Jackson Night Glow is an all-inclusive 5k evening event designed for individuals of all ages. Participants will experience a vibrant night race illuminated by a captivating array of glowing elements. The event features a Kids ½ Mile Fun Run designed for younger participants before the main festivities. It is not just a 5k race, it is an experience: What makes the Jackson Night Glow 5k so unique - it could the 1,500 luminaries that light the course, the booming fireworks to start the race, the the 300 foot arch way of lights, the rowdy spectators in the neighborhood streets cheering you on, the amazing race shirts, the glow necklaces etc. Following the race, all runners and supporters are encouraged to connect with one another while enjoying a selection of snacks and beverages. This event is organized and hosted by the Jackson High School Cross Country team and their supporters.
