ABOUT
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!
We will be donating to Wildlands Conservancy for this event.
Sunset time: 6:38PM

ZERO CARBON
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 will be an extra $1 added on to your registration specifically for this cost. This $1 will offset the carbon emissions for your personal travel to and from the event. We are excited to partner with Native Energy 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.
Event's current local time: 3:16 PM ET
