Event Information
About This Event
NOTE: We are doing a different format this year and will be having a staggered start to give everyone a chance to FINISH together at midnight! So plan on arriving in time on Friday evening so that you can start at whatever target time you need to finish your chosen distance at midnight.

Mark your calendars for the 6th annual midnight run on Folly! Friday, November 18th, 2016, come join us for this unique experience of running in the middle of the night (on a super flat course!) at the Edge of America! We are sticking with the fall date to comply with Folly Beach Town Council’s event regulations. As you run in the heat now, look forward to the cool temps running at night on Folly! As with years past, this is more of a fun group run, and is NOT an official timed race. Run with your friends and enjoy the experience! We will have half marathon, 10k, and 5k distances mapped out.

If you are local to Charleston, you are likely familiar with the Moore family and that their son Peyton passed away suddenly a few years ago. Peyton, Noah, and Jennifer have been an inspiration to many in our community. We include a tribute to Peyton on our shirts, and we raise money for Team Healthy Kids in his honor. So far we have raised nearly $5,000!!! Every penny beyond the costs of basic runner supplies and shirts will be donated to Team Healthy Kids. If you would like to offer an additional donation for Team Healthy Kids, you will have the option to do so when you register online. Please help us support this great cause in Peyton's name! You can learn more about Team Healthy Kids here: http://www.afhk.org/

Get out your glow sticks and necklaces and we look forward to seeing you under the stars on Folly!

"There is a certain magic to running at night, which heightens and intensifies the senses. No matter how tired I might be, I'm suddenly keenly aware of my surroundings. It makes you feel very alive." -Dean Karnazes

Entry/Tshirts
Cost is $15 per runner, without a shirt. (Same regardless of distance.) Cause of the later fall date, we are getting sweet LONG SLEEVE performance shirts this year!!! If you would like a shirt, registration will be $30 per runner. (Again, same regardless of distance.) IF YOU WANT A SHIRT, YOU MUST REGISTER BEFORE OCTOBER 30TH!
Date/Time
November 18th, 2016 from about 9pm to midnight (We are doing staggered starts this year with the goal to have everyone finish at midnight! Contact us if you have any questions.)
Start Location
101 E Arctic Ave, Folly Beach, SC 29439
Course Description
Runners of all levels welcomed! We will start heading East on Arctic Avenue beginning across from the Folly Beach Fishing Pier. Runners will travel up and down the island before running out on to the beach for the finish. You aren't finished till your feet hit the ocean! A link/map to specific course directions for the approximately half marathon, 5k, and 10k distances will be provided the week of the race.
Event Features
This is a unique opportunity to run under the moon and stars out on the island of Folly Beach with an awesome group of people! And all in the name of a great cause in honor of a VERY special boy! There will be a few self-serve water and Gatorade stations set up on the course. Each registered runner will get their own Thomas & Kohut's Midnight Run bib number! Special race shirts will be provided to those who ordered via on-line registration
Parking
There is some parking available near the race starting point. If parking along the street in Folly, just remember to have all tires off the pavement so you don't get ticketed!
Results/Timing
In the past, this has NOT been a timed event, so no results were posted. We encourage you to run together in groups. This will give you safety in numbers running at night...and will make it more fun to run with old friends...or new friends you meet along the way! If we opt to time the event this year, we will let you know, but we still want to keep the spirit and camaraderie that we've always had!
Volunteers
As always we need volunteers! Please contact Joe Kohut at jkohut13@gmail.com or 843-324-6672 if you are able to help out. It is always great to have folks to direct runners and assist with refreshments at the start/finish and out on the course!
