Wednesday Night Lights - Community Open Track
About this race
Looking for a lighted, safe place to walk or run in the evening? Whether you are training for an event and want to tackle some intervals on the track or looking for a traffic-free spot where you can know exactly how far you walk or run, you can take advantage of the Wednesday Night Lights community open track from 7-8:30 PM every Wednesday starting November 4.
=PR= is excited to partner with George Mason to offer this benefit to the NOVA walking and running community. Getting on a track is difficult and we're fortunate we could make it happen! There will be no formal training happening during the open track hours through 2026 although there may be some in 2027.
There is no cost, just register once before you attend for safety and communication purposes. We'll share parking information, any cancelations or changes from George Mason, etc., to all registered participants. Your registration also helps us provide the necessary insurance coverage to enable this community event to go forward. The initial welcome will include tips on what to expect, track etiquette, check in, and more.
Note this is a running/walking event only. In this space, no dogs, no bikes, no other uses permitted. Violations will cause us to lose this unique opportunity.
