Grab your headlamp & let's hit the trails!

The Running Kind presents a rugged nighttime event, Blackout! This 10K course will traverse the technical, mountainous terrain covering over 1000ft of vert at South Mountain in Emmaus, PA. Things will kick off at dusk & runners will take on the night!

In 2025, we will offer a "Lights On” edition of Blackout. Runners can choose to complete the 10K starting at 5PM before darkness encroaches… or you can get crazy and do both!

Lights On 5PM / Blackout 6:30PM

about the event

  • This is a zero carbon event, meaning we take into account the emissions released in relation to hosting this trail race. The Running Kind will be subsidizing the cost to offset the event, however there is a fee included in your registration specifically for this cost. This will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Change Climate to support a carbon offset project we believe in.

    In addition to going zero carbon at this event, The Running Kind will be collecting monetary donations for Wildlands Conservancy.

  • Coming soon...
