Night Flight 5K/One Mile Fun Run

The 4th annual NIGHT FLIGHT 5K to benefit athletic programs in the Glynn County School System features a 1 Mile Fun Run & a 5K race where runners light up the course with glow sticks, creating a unique and fun atmosphere in Glynn County's only night run.

“With a course set on an airport tarmac that takes runners through the Stambaugh Aviation hanger, and being held at night with all of the lights, glow sticks and reflective running gear, the Night Flight 5K presents a different experience than most other running events,” said Glynn County Schools Athletic Director Steve Waters. “Parking is at Needwood Middle School off of Harry Driggers Drive.”

“What a lot of people don’t know is that our athletic programs receive no public funding. Our only revenue sources are ticket sales and fundraising through corporate sponsorships and events like the Night Flight 5K. So this is an important component of our overall program that provides so many positive activities for middle and high school students,” Waters said.

The entry fee is $15 for the One-Mile Fun Run, $25 for the 5K run and $30 for both events before April 30^th.  After that date the fees increase to $20, $30, and $35. Participants will receive a t-shirt and glow sticks, glow necklaces, and/or glow bracelets. Runners can register online at www.active.com, pick up a registration form at the Glynn County Schools Athletic Department at 801 Mansfield Street in Brunswick or register the night of the event.

The event is sponsored by Stambaugh Aviation, the Quintanar Running Company and T&E Auto Sales. For information call the Glynn County Schools Athletic Department at 912-267-4100 ext. 1301 or email swaters@glynn.k12.ga.us.
