Running races aren’t just for the morning! These half marathons, 5Ks, fun runs, and other events are run at night. So forget daylight’s savings: Find your best workout clothes and bundle up to cross the finish line at one of these events, including the Electric Run, Disney, the New Year’s Race.During the week, 14 percent of runs take place between 9 and 10 p.m. A possible explanation: there’s too much going on, especially for young professionals, so running.
Run against traffic. It’s easier to avoid traffic if you can see it. Don’t wear dark colors at night. White running attire is the easiest to see at night, but orange and yellow are also appropriate.
Black, brown, dark blue or green are not recommended. Run behind vehicles at intersections.Below, we broke down the top 10 benefits of running at night. Try it yourself and reap the rewards.
1. You’ll run more consistently. Even the most well-intentioned morning runs get ruined by the snooze button. When it comes to night running, you’re already awake—and those even texts and emails really should be put on.
You may have to get up earlier than you really want to (this is a big one for me, really any time I have to get up before 7 am is a struggle), because you will have to run and then still go through your morning routine after the run and as a night owl despite being tired you may not be able to get to sleep early at night.Organised night races are another way to appreciate the dark, from Nike’s original party-atmosphere We Own the Night to 24-hour races that see you through the night.Night running is a different animal for sure, but it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your running fitness or race goals. With the right preparation and focus, you can make any evening workout rival its daytime counterpart. ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local.
And of course, they had great advice to share: 24. Anna @ pipersrun Night before a big race.charge my Garmin beside bed or near car keys so you don’t leave without it or uncharged. 25.
Lisa @ milebymileblog The night before a big race I like to eat my usual prerun meal, nothing new even if I’m traveling! And drink lots of water. 26. Deb @ debrunsfit Pre-race tips: make sure everything.
3. Horse Races: Here’s where the fun begins! These are run just like a regular horse race when you go to the race track. People can place as many $2 wagers on as many horses as they want for each race. If their horse comes in first place, they win.
Typically the organization splits the amount raised for each race either 50/50 or 60/40.Here’s how running at night might help you run faster, snack less and sleep better. Night Race Neon reigns at 5K and 10K runs through city.Welcome to the Queen City, a place filled with healthy professionals who enjoy 14 running stores, nine running clubs, and dozens of races. Runners in.
I run 6 days a week, usually 4 or 5 of those days I run at night (past 9 PM). I completely agree with you on everything. I don’t necessarily know if it’s cooler temperature wise, but not having the sun beat down on you does wonders in terms of performance. Amen to night time running!However, racing too often can have its downsides, particularly if you prefer longer races such as the half marathon or marathon.
Not to mention that the cost of racing adds up quickly! Which means inevitably, you will have to figure out how your running between races and race.Whether you take most races seriously, but hope to switch it up with a light-hearted, not-your-average run or you’re new to the 5K, 10K, or marathon world and want a unique introduction, a night.
better to run at night than not at all. But you may have trouble getting to sleep. Although if you keep it up your general mood and energy levels will be higher than not running, maybe not as good as running earlier in the day though. I do most of my running in the evening/night and it works best for me.

I am trying to do a bit here and there to support the businesses that need local races to live, but it’s not the same. It’s all about the bib, the starting gun, racing against friends and other folks I know, or don’t know, crossing the mat, trying to beat my time, etc.And of course, they had great advice to share: 24.

You only run your first half-marathon once, and doing so in Vegas makes for an exceptional story. Happy Trails. Stay motivated to run during the.3. Horse Races: Here’s where the fun begins! These are run just like a regular horse race when you go to the race track.
People can place as many $2 wagers on as many horses as they want for each race. If their horse comes in first place, they win. Typically the organization splits the amount raised for each race either 50/50 or 60/40.Here’s how running at night might help you run faster, snack less and sleep better.

Organised night races are another way to appreciate the dark, from Nike’s original party-atmosphere We Own the Night to 24-hour races that see you through the night.ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.Don’t take Ibuprofen the night before or during a race! Pain medication should always be taken in moderation, so if you’re plagued by common running injuries, you should find a more sustainable treatment method than NSAIDs.
When long-term training is the name of your game, long-lasting pain relief should be priority number one.I run 6 days a week, usually 4 or 5 of those days I run at night (past 9 PM). I completely agree with you on everything.
I don’t necessarily know if it’s cooler temperature wise, but not having the sun beat down on you does wonders in terms of performance. Amen to night time running!Running gives you a continuum for communication with your mind and body and an opportunity to deepen that connection. So, that’s my advice to you, the non-runner, as a non-runner myself, who just happens to still run a couple times every week.
I am not built to run, by any means. I am built to move heavy stuff around and do intense things for.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo can compete or may win with usain bolt..if they compete
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone
For harry styles
You may not be able to give the best performance in every concert because you have too many concerts to attend to and you also feel tired sometimes, but what people are after for is to see you performing, not how perfectly you sing that song. They’re about you cuz they want you.
Honestly I was interested until I found out it’s impossible to enter. No wonder only a hand full of people have completed it. I did 20 years in the US Army Combat Engineer as a Sapper I’m confident I could complete this challange. I’d say this is why not just anyone can enter because their are tons of folks that could do this. If anyone could enter I’d be there next year. To bad….
That Woman(!) coming in second, after Hussein Bolt?
Kudos to her!
I remember when he first won the Olympics and started to rise to fame, he would refuse to give interviews unless the Interviewer presented him has « Usain bolt, the living legend »…such a humble man
I love running in the dark, especially before sunrise. I saw my first falling star.
Running on the dark, I make sure to wear all my reflective gear and headlamps/headlights. But, I would love a neon running jacket as well like what was wore in the video.
Is it just me or does it feel like i could beat him in a 75 meter race
Usain Bolt can run faster than James Corden? No Way! That’s impossible! He must be cheating! Fake video!
Usain Bolt and James Corden race and Owen Wilson is there for some reason
A race created by a total douche explicitly for other total douches. Nice job
Usain doesnt look like he’s even running….he’s literally jogging
I often thought there’s an expert for everything with the exception of how to wipe your ass as up to this point no one had ever supplied advice in said regard. I now stand corrected.
Brushy Mtn Prison is now a distillery/restaurant/museum. It’s in Petros, TN.
actually ive heard from a blind person most just use a bigger amount of toilette paper. so when your guessing your clean by feel you just wipe again to be safe.
If they had Usain run backwards, that would have made it more interesting ��
From a distance, it”s hard to know what you are seeing when peeps are dressed as these. Better to wear white upper and bottoms. Better yet, have reflective bands around ankles, wrists and torso at a minimum. Some sort of white cap, with reflective tape, adds to a driver’s ability to recognize what’s ahead. It’s better to be seen, rather than run over and stylish.
David goggins would beat this so easily he’d make that guy eat his cigarettes. Goggins has completed the hardest ultramarathon race of 135 miles through Death Valley. He can run 205 miles in 39 hours, holds the world record for 4,030 pull ups in 17 hours and he’s a Navy seal, tacp, and ranger. This race would be a walk through the park for goggins.
is it just me or would it be really fun to have a race against Usain bolt
Sorry dudes, this is one of the the “running in the snow is great” ideas ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98mBl9d0dew). You try so hard making yourself seen and depending on where you are going you cant see infront of you either. You run with gear on which just adds to the fuss or aggravation adding more cost to what essentially should be the cheapest sport on the planet. I guess its the “perfect condition for running though” and loads will comment this post. All i say to them is, actually try it. Ive been running at night for 4 years and its just shit really(had no choice, work hours). over the last 6 months ive just stuck to town routes where the footpaths are good, all fully street lit and as much chance of being hit by cars as there are in the day (in this notion you could say theres no difference anyways) but its still shit and i wish i didnt go for a nap when i got in from work and did it then.
Dont run in the dark if at all possible. Some people i understand will have no choice so, i guess theyve already made this their natural habitat.
My anecdotal Running in dark, trying to do some hill repeats when the air temp was low. Couldnt see more than 5 ft infront of me due to the mist/fog and the specular light from the actual head torch bouncing off the fog made visibility worse. Too dark for off tho.. You have to now actually use yourt brain and say. “What benefit am i getting from this right now?” Ive tried it up to 100 times trying to find my golden hour (i honestly thought it was at night) but when i realised all my times were slower, im at my tiredest and the rub of the torch and the extra faff of the gear is too much. I tried early mnorning for a while but i just found it too cold, more damp/wet and more dog walkers in the way some of which think they own the entire canal and shout abuse for me not seeing their fucking dog.
Sorry guys theres too much stacked up against this and anyone with a level head should see the intent of this post and realise that there are other things you cn be doing rather than running about in really sub optimal conditions.
It was good for Usain Bolt to keep looking back even though he was winning. It doesn’t matter how good you are, you can never let your guard down. This is what makes Usain Bolt the best.
I can’t believe they wasted all that toilet paper at the finish line. Hopefully someone had the presence of mind to roll it back up and put it on a roll in the men’s room….
Yeah I said “men’s room”…. because unlike women…manly men don’t care where their toilet paper has been.
I wanna know who the girl was in second place she kept up pretty well
Someone casually walks over and gives James a British flag, James doesn’t notice,
Sneaky move��
Gordan’s flesh bouncing up and down as he struggles. I think im crying
Good video! When running in the dark, my times are almost always worse as compared to when I run the same track when there is daylight.
I watched the documentary on this, 99% of the people invited to this couldn’t finish a 5k road race so of course the “ultra marathoners” they claim run this cant complete it. More of a scavenger hunt than a race though.
Yesterday n today Average 500 new Infections cases and new Clusters found.
Outstanding ������
18 finishers, they do keep the pages of the books, also $11 dollar watch has been given to runners, sweet.
T shirts and medals and certificates have been ordered, but have been confiscated by prison guards
Usain could say “ez” because we really know he actually is jogging lol.
0:47 going against usain bolt the fastest in the world but you come showing up back from your fucking science lab
My company keeps nagging me about taking part in our 401k. I just don’t see how anyone could run that far.
After 6 mths of the 1st case on 23 Jan n 3 mths after CB, we still have big numbers.
How is the Isolation n Segregation done in the Dorms?
Why do we still have 300-400 daily Infections in the Dorms last 3 days?
Why are new clusters still found in the Dorms?
Professor Teo Yik Ying,:
“Social distancing, mask wearing, …most people follow these rules very properly.” Even at NUH some patients don’t cover their noses…….” Professor Ooi:…every measure…has trade-offs.. it costs society…in the order of billions..” Yeah, what’s the trade-off if pple were mandated to wear mask in Jan 2020 which is now mandated in SGP and worldwide with solid scientific evidence of its effectiveness, instead of being told that the wearer without COVID-19 symptoms did not protect the wearer contrary to the fact that doctors/nurses had been wearing masks even B4 COVID…… CB with its attendant costs of around S$100 billion might NOT be necessary; with Taiwan NOT imposing a lockdown as a classic example.
Love this video, people need to watch this a dozen times over.
This virus might end next year because the vaccine is going to be distributing most likely next year.
Moral of this story: Cantrell, the Barkley marathon’s inventor and proctor, is a sadistic asshole.
Imagine being a holdaper then you grab his wallet…
Your dead ;-:
10:35 That alliteration, was the most entertaining excitement I’ve ever endulged apon.: )
I actually was a little hesitant to run at night until I watched this video
I’d encourage people to use some sort of rear facing light as well if running on / near roads.
I like to run on early mornings like 5 to 6 AM because there is no traffic, air is very fresh and it’s a great boost for whole day.
When Usian Bolt gets in a race other racers I am not even try to win.
Chuck Norris doesn’t run marathons
marathons run Chuck Norrises
Check local parks, and open air stadiums in your neighborhood. Those might be the better places than streets and trails at night. Assume pedestrian speed when approaching intersections, make eye contact with drivers before crossing, swirl behind the cars that are about to make a turn the drivers cuold be busy watching ongoing traffic.
Good topic
So wait, you’re saying long-distance runners are douchbags? No way…
Great video and reminder of things to keep in mind when running at night. I love the different perspective you get when both running early in the morning before sunrise or late at night. I especially find that I am enjoying running on winter nights as it is so peaceful and quiet. Also, as mentioned in the video, there is not as much “hustle and bustle” of cars & people at these times.
Have a look at the tracer 360 of Noxgear: led iklumination on all sides in small package. https://www.noxgear.com/tracer360 I use one the last 3 years with success (being seen by others)
One of the main reasons why being retired on Jan 3d after 35 yrs, no more late runs. I have a good trail that is lighted, but bathrooms closed. So my runs will be between 9am and 5pm. And I use the heat as i do the hills. But when running after work when it grew darker then more planning as you have pointed out very well, great job again.
Get a Runlight 250 from Kalenji. Greatest running light ever, gives you plenty of visibility and makes you a lot safer. Rather cheap too ��
I run in the dark a large portion of my training; plus I live in the boonies with lots of dirt trails/roads and no street lamps. As I started running I had a pretty bad fall and got myself a head lamp that had enough lumens to scare the birds right out of the bushes when the light pointed at them.
Yep, running on known routes, and with a head-torch for darker areas, is how I do night running! I’m lucky that there is a nice 7km running track near me:) As for music, I use bone conduction headphones, so I can always hear everything around me!!
I’d compete and smuggle a case and some grass to hang out in the woods for a night then roam back to the start when im done.
I have been running during nigh about 80% of the year. I find it more calm and refreshing. This however has a very bad effect on my day-time races. I feel like running in the daylight is more exhausting.:(
This guy is like the grand master of a runners cult. Hilarious.
Arbery wasn’t shot while jogging. He was shot while attacking a White man.
I was fine with all of this craziness until I found out they just want to make fun of one guy they did worse than everyone else
Checkmate Hill. You say 1,300′ of climbing in under a quarter mile (<1,320'). Wouldn't that be practically if not literally vertical? Genuinely asking, because this makes my brain hurt. I'm not the brightest.
The Barkley Marathons: The Race that Eats its Young is one of my favorite documentaries on Netflix
So the organizer of the race has nothing but absolute contempt for ultramarathoners XD
Also, I thought everyone wiped without looking. Unless you bring a mirror, how are you seeing your perineum???
I was surprised that someone was actualy keeping up with Usain the guy at the top of the “track”.
This race sounds all to familiar to someone who completed training for 45 Commando, Royal Marines….
Bonus Fact: most people don’t need to nearly kill themselves in order to “find something they didn’t know was there.”
There is so much overlap with the Do Go On podcast, this is the fourth or fifth I’ve found
“Self-proclaimed fastest man in the world”
I’m sure that’s true, in a completely different meaning.
Today I found out that some people are freaking crazy… ie anyone voluntarily running this race.
Wow, this is a really stupid race. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
This cant be real. Why would anyone put themselves at the mercy of what is clearly a mad man.
Why would you want to do race the lead guy just sounds like a dick.
Wasn’t there one guy that finished that race but he was like 2 seconds above the time limit so they didn’t count it
Barkely Marathon: The Race That Eats Its Young. It was a very entertaining film on Netflix. I think that it is still available.
For anyone watching in 2019, the number of finishers has gone up to 15. John Kelly finished in 2017, and nobody else has finished it since. Check out the Netflix documentary, or look into a man named Gary Robbins, who ran with John Kelly in 2017. Robbins has a YouTube film about his race experience called “Where Dreams Go to Die”. It’s phenomenal. He’s tried the Barkley marathons 3 times and failed every time but got very, very close during his 2017 attempt.
If you runs and listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST2H8FWDvEA at night at the same time
Why don’t you just go run it anytime you want except maybe winter I mean it’s not like he’s taking the whole thing home with them you in a couple of buddies. Yep there on a weekend and run it William s.
You should have jumped on his back. He most likely still would have won 2nd since you would have put your hand out in front of his nose for the win. ��
That prison is not far from where I live. In fact my grandmother was married to a guy that worked there when Ray escaped.
I know there’s a whole lot more to your feelings, but speaking strictly as a runner I’m sorry to hear all that. I’d be pissed if someone interrupted my runs on a consistent basis. Glad those guys that killed aurbery for no good reason are being tried…
Goggins is built for this shit. He’ll take Cantrells fucking soul.
Im sorry but this is just sadistic, sacrificial lamb, dificulty in register and etc….
Plus the creator never completed it so…
Corden: “that’s the life of an athlete”
What the… that line had me dead..mannn This dude funny
Not gonna lie…looks pretty funny to see you guys run without being able to see your legs!
If I want my body fucked up I can think of a lot better ways and not be half as tired!!!
People with a PhD in science or engineering are much more likely to finish this race than someone with a military background.
That’s over two days. How can you race for over two days unless you’re on meth?
“i give you 10 of my strongest men…and 1 or 2 of the weakest just for shits and giggle”
If he’d have gotten onto hwy 116 he could have made it a lot farther!
Keep feeding your brain fun facts by watching this videoDid People Ever Really Put Crocodiles In Moats?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cgVHCqVt1Y
Wasn’t there a news story about this race that went viral because a guy missed the cut by 5 seconds?
Ending: wait, people LOOK to see if they’ve cleaned themselves properly? It’s amazing how differently people do the little things in life, and because they’re little things we generally don’t ask our friends and family about how they do them.
They shouldn’t be any thumb down here. That’s means their Te white supremacy watching. This movie speaks life ��✊��
Careful where you put your feet, just had a wrinkled ankle due aneven ground in the dark!
What does wiping your crap covered ass have to do with running an ultramarathon??
I wish I would have known about this race while I was in my 20’s
There’s another guy not willing but there’s two fingers I’ll lend you a**** now I want a cigarette
When Usain Bolt be playing tag in elementary school
some kid: Tag you’re it
Bolt: You fool
it was only recently on an evening run that i tried taking a shortcut across a field. I didnt realise that the field was waterlogged until too late and ended up running in to a ditch filled with muddy water. I ended up with mud to my shins with the inertia making me fall forward covering my arms and chest with mud too. i had to remove my shoes to pour out the water. Other night runs have involved falling over an invisible dog on the beach. Dog was with his/her owner but had no sort of light or reflective collar/coat. ran across my path and i didnt see him. I have also had ninja cyclists dressed all in black with no lights cycle in to the back of me on the pavement.
btw. have you injured your neck, Heather? Your neck and shoulders seemed quite stiff when you were running with your torso trying to compensate.
I had to stop it at the bonus facts. I have never wondered about blind peoples ass holes.
The fucker who holds this race could atleast have some kind of trophy for someone who finishes the race even if it not a big one they went thru fucking hell just to enter the race and then to finish it just sommething to say hey wow you just did the impossible congrats put this on the wall cuz you deserve to show people what you did!
Well, you need to use also intermittent lighting braces https://www.releasedesigns.com/collections/special/products/wrist-light-bracelet-led-pedometers-flash-wristband-fitness-bracelet-light-glow-gift-night-sports-running-cycling-safety I feel more safe when i know i am clearly visible.
This sounds so incredible. Not racing for prizes but just for the honor to enter the race and IF you finish it, you’re rewarded with a cheap lawnchair and telling stories. That’s incredible. I think the point is, you must really love ultramarathoning to do this. If you dont love it, you’d be discouraged easily, but if you love it, you’ve earned the right to try and if you try and succeed, your stories will be told again and again.
This has to be the most asinine idea I have ever heard of. And to think, 35 idiots try this every year.
I’m 8years old and I just won from my fastest sports teacher
Sounds like the hunter exam from hunter x hunter. An anime. Seems this race was the inspiration for that anime.
Love all your channels Bubba. Didn’t see the random wiping facts coming tho. Although informative a bit unhinging
that is not even close to usain bolt full speed he was literally just jogging
wonder how many who participate (or have completed) in this race also attend Burning Man on a regular basis…would be interesting to find out
As a night time cycling commuter, it’s upsetting to see how many runners don’t wear any reflectors or lights. Even with my 800 lumen headlight, I can’t see pedestrians until the last second.
When I go for a run at night, I attach my bicycle light to my finger and point it bqckwards. The elastic strap kind works wonders.
That was an unexpected, yet oddly interesting, second bonus fact!
all of these guys were out of shape, cmon next time give him some real competition.
and he would still smoke them
Great video. Surprised to see Runners World doing this and that is a good thing. Glad you guys are joining the conversation
Can we appreciate how Tim Young has a Poland shirt���� Polska!!
According to my grandfather he took this exact route to school every morning as a child
I live half an hour from Brushy. I know how these mountains are.
Waste of time………..what I would have liked to know is what kind of expert medical advice was given in January 2020 which had caused PM Lee to say publicly that a person without the COVID-19 virus symptoms should not wear a face mask and that the wearer is not protected, even as doctors and nurses have all along been wearing the face masks in hospitals and polyclinics even BEFORE the COVID-19 outbreak. Why did the Govt then changed its mind subsequently to make it compulsory for the public to wear face masks when in public places…………..I suppose too embarrassing to the emperor without clothes for the public to know. Which is why Singapore is such a deep mess………..also with losses by GIC/TH.
Who else is watching this during quarantine because they want to watch some kind of sports?
I live in San Francisco and am white. I know when and where I can run safely. No one can do anything they want whenever they want.
Thanks for this Video Bro. I’m a runner and I know what you talking about. but. I wouldn’t be running anywhere at midnight that’s Tooo Dangerous!! stick to running the hood and you probably be Awright
What bullshit is this. Grown man scared of going inside, outside, running, cause all the racists are gonna get me D: dude that’s pathetic. What are you doing in NY at this point anyways? Newsflash, it’s a shit place to live for everybody. You’re not a special victim.
