We’re bringing together running, music, neon colours and a fantastic party atmosphere for a Friday-night event with a difference.

Dig out your brightest outfit, embrace the neon, and get ready to run, walk and dance your way around the course. Forgot your glow gear? Don’t worry! A selection of neon goodies will be available to purchase at registration.

Choose your distance

Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the atmosphere, there’s a distance for everyone.

2.5K Fun Run – perfect for younger runners, families and anyone looking for a fun introduction to running events.

5K Neon Run – a great choice for social runners, beginners and anyone wanting a fun Friday-night challenge.

10K Neon Run – ready for more? Take on four laps of our neon-lit course and soak up the atmosphere all evening.

All distances start together at 7:00pm, so bring your friends, choose your challenge and get ready for a spectacular evening on the track.

The course and atmosphere

The event takes place on the closed circuit at Cyclopark, featuring a wide, smooth tarmac surface that makes it ideal for runners of all abilities.

The course is a 2.5km lap, meaning you’ll get to experience the atmosphere again and again as you make your way around. With four music stations positioned around the track, there’ll be plenty of beats, encouragement and energy to keep you moving.

Whether you’re running, jogging or walking, the focus is on enjoying yourself and being part of the experience.

And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! With a café and food van on site, you can refuel, relax and enjoy the evening with fellow participants and spectators. Stay around after your run, cheer on the other runners and celebrate everyone’s achievements.

Make it a neon night!

This is your excuse to be as bright, bold and colourful as you like!

Come dressed in your brightest running kit, add some neon accessories or purchase glow goodies from our registration stand. Get your friends and family involved and make a night of it.

The more colour, the better!

Who is the Neon Run for?

Everyone who wants to have a great time!

The ATW Neon Run is designed to welcome first-time participants, regular runners, families and groups of friends looking for a different kind of Friday-night activity.

You don’t need to be an experienced runner, and you don’t need to be chasing a time. Choose your distance, enjoy the music, embrace the atmosphere and cross that finish line with a smile.

For our regular ATW participants, it’s another opportunity to try something new, visit a fantastic venue and enjoy a completely different race experience.

We’re excited to be returning to Kent for the second year! Join us at Cyclopark for an evening packed with neon colours, music, running and community spirit.
