Our mission is to empower and educate runners of the safety of trail running in the dark but have fun while we’re doing it. This is a unique event for runners at any skill level to experience something new,” said NorCalUltras’ Race Director Julie Fingar. “This is one of my favorite events each year and I’m looking forward to welcoming it back in full swing and collaborating with our sponsors and partners to make it a success.”
