Get ready to experience the World's First Running Music Festival at the NIGHT NATION RUN in Salt Lake City on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This unique 5K event in Sandy, Utah, at America First Field, promises an electrifying blend of fitness and celebration, where you're encouraged to run, walk, skip, or dance your way through an illuminated course. As you move, you'll be immersed in "party zones" featuring live DJs, vibrant light shows, refreshing bubble zones, and the glow of neon and black lights. This event isn't about setting a personal record; it's about enjoying life, friends, and music, culminating in an epic main stage after-party with top headliner DJs, lights, fog, and giveaways.
The festivities kick off at America First Field with gates opening at 6:00 PM, followed by a pre-party at 6:30 PM, and the first wave of runners starting at 8:30 PM. While the exact course terrain isn't specified, past Night Nation Runs have featured a mix of asphalt and grass, winding through scenic routes. Expect typical race day conditions in early June to be pleasant, with highs around 79°F and lows around 54°F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation. This exhilarating event is proud to support Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), contributing to innovative cancer research.
Join over two million participants globally who have celebrated life and music with the Night Nation Run. Your registration includes a race bib, a glow necklace, giveaways, and access to both the pre and post-race concerts. Prepare for an unforgettable night of high-energy fun and a celebration that extends far beyond the finish line.
