10 YEARS!! 🎉 ❤️🏃‍♀️

That's a decade of fun, frivolity, running, walking, and shuffling together. Of amazing running fashun, rainbow onesies, tutus, enough neon to light up Harajuku, big hair natural and fake, fire twirlers shining like beacons, saxophonists blasting out some horn, a finish line as welcoming as it gets, and plenty of lights brightening the beachside run route along the Surf Coast Walk.

Do a half marathon (21km) from Point Addis back to The Salty Dog Cafe Torquay, Fisherman’s Beach. A ‘half glow’ 13km from Southside near Bells Beach, or one of two 5km ‘mini-glow’ loop course at Fisherman’s Beach.

The second 5km event is run under the ‘Body Positive Stomp’ banner with our mates at Escaping Your Comfort Zone, a non-timed run or walk that welcomes entry-level trailites and encourages everybody to join in without discrimination, judgement, or expectation, no matter your ability or experience.

And this year we have partnered with The Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre to shine our running headlamps on sexual and family violence.

Everyone should be able to run safe.

Afterglow – sign up, glow up, paint on, run fun, stand together, celebrate together.

Race Directing. It's a dance of the light fandango. And one must dress appropriately. It's a heavy responsibility. And we take trail running seriously. So you can trust when it comes to AFTERGLOW NIGHT TRAIL RUN that we will be fluro fashion appropriate. Will it be unicorn popcorn or bad hair flair 80s glam? Probably both , and then some ...

What's your go to glow glam for 7 December?

Make it briiiiiiiight!!

Make a beeline for the coast with the most, GOTU is on this Saturday.

The course: there is only a little bit of sand considering you are tracking the wild coastline, mostly the course is singletrack heaven, with views for eternity that create memories that will last just as long.

The vibe: respectful and reverent of the environment, good times (as much as running an ultra can be), welcoming (all aboard!).

The options: 100km solo or in teams of two. New 45km distance taster (albeit 45k is a bit bite).

The date: 26 Ocotber 2024 (now-now)
