The thirteenth annual glow run will soon become a great family tradition. All proceeds will be used to support the Brookhaven Police Department's "Shop with a Badge" Christmas Program. The Shop with a Badge or similarly named programs are held in numerous law enforcement agencies across the country. All funds raised through race registration fees, donations, and corporate sponsorships will be divided up equally among our city's underprivileged children. The children will be escorted by participating police officers, sheriff's deputies, troopers, and other first responders to pick out much-needed items and maybe a toy or two. Your participation is deeply appreciated and will bring a smile to a child's face as they are able to experience the joy of opening gifts on Christmas morning. Register by August 11, 2026 to be guaranteed your shirt size of choice.

Can't make it on race day? We have two additional options Virtual Runner (running your own race at your location of choice) and Just the Shirt (not running, but supporting). Virtual runners do not have to submit a time or screenshot of the course. We want you to get out and move your body for a distance that is comfortable for you.

*** Since all proceeds are going directly to the charity, no refunds are available. If you think there is a chance you cannot attend the race, we highly recommend purchasing the registration insurance during registration. ***
