Pines Light Up The Night, 5K Run

Get ready to glow at the Pines Light Up The Night, a vibrant 5K Run taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in sunny Pembroke Pines, Florida. This isn't just a race; it's a high-energy evening celebration designed to combine fitness, fun, and community spirit for all ages. The 5K distance invites runners and walkers alike to light up the night in a dazzling, neon-themed experience.

The Pines Light Up The Night kicks off at 6:30 PM from West Pines Soccer Park, transforming the course into a spectacle of color after sunset. Participants receive a glowing foam baton, creating a luminous parade as you move through the course. Beyond the run, the atmosphere continues with post-race festivities, including music and, for those 21 and over, complimentary beer. This electrifying event also supports a fantastic cause, benefiting the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools Foundation.

Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather as the sun sets, with evening temperatures often dropping from daytime highs around 80F to a comfortable 63F, and only a 7% chance of precipitation. This makes for an ideal evening to hit the pavement and enjoy the festive glow. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply looking for a memorable night out with friends and family, the Pines Light Up The Night promises an unforgettable experience under the stars.
