Race Information
Come hang out just before dusk for the 2026 Summer Nights 5K and 1 Mile-ish! The setting sun paired with the shade of our trails will make for the “coolest” race you can do around here in mid-July!
This race course is so unique we know you will love it. You'll get a chance to run through different environments ranging from wooded trails, to manicured gardens and the Prairie Castle Playground, making this a race to remember!
After-Hours Garden Access!
After the race is over, participants will have EXCLUSIVE access to the Gardens at Stowe. Only participants with bibs will be able to enter the Gardens after the race so be sure to tell your friends, cousin and grandma who want to cheer you on that they will need to purchase a race entry to tag along inside the Gardens.
