Light Up the Night at the
13th Annual Harvest Moon 5k Run & Walk
October 5, 2024
The Harvest Moon Run
The Harvest Moon Run is a nighttime 5K run & walk in Eureka, Missouri. A glow run like no other through Historic Route 66 State Park! Whether you’re a runner or a walker, you’ll enjoy the paved course with pathlighters throughout, illuminating your steps as you zip by on your way to the moonlit finish line.
5K participants receive an Energizer headlight to help light the night!
Get Ready. Get Set. GLOW!
Proceeds from the race benefit the Harvest Moon Run Hunger Mission, supporting initiatives like the Eureka-Pacific Elks Lodge Weekend Backpack Food Program and surrounding area food pantries. 1 in 6 of our neighbors struggle with food insecurity.
Together we can nourish many of these households throughout the year.
