Moonlight Meltdown 5k and Sunset Safari 10k Hybrid/Crossover Trail Run

Moonlight Meltdown 5k and Sunset Safari 10k Hybrid/Crossover Trail Run is an evening event in Belgium, Wisconsin, on April 24, 2027. The 10K sets off first at 6:50 PM as a trail run toward Harrington Beach State Park, taking in a snowmobile trail along the way, and the 5K follows at 8:00 PM on a road course through the streets of town. It is organized by The Snow Runners LTD together with the Belgium Fire and Rescue department.

Running in fading light is the defining feature here, so bring a headlamp for the later stretches and run the trail sections by feel rather than by pace. Eat earlier in the day than you would for a morning race, and keep your warm-up short since evening legs are already loose. Entrants get a custom shirt, food and drinks, and raffles, and the finish is at Kyote's Bar and Grill with an after-party. Proceeds go to Belgium Fire and Rescue, the Rocket Academy and Snow Runners.
