Beat the Bitter’s 5K-ish Glow Run is Jan. 26

Posted on: January 12, 2024

North Liberty’s Beat the Bitter festival is on a mission to turn Iowans into winter lovers, and will kick off its ninth year of events with the 5K-ish Glow Run on Friday, Jan. 26.

The fun run unveils the North Liberty Lights illuminated display around Liberty Centre Pond’s walking trail. Participants who sign up to run or walk the 5K-ish Glow Run will be the first to enjoy the 2024 exhibition, which will then be lit nightly through February.

Both a 6 p.m. running and a 7 p.m. walking start times are available to accommodate all skill levels. All ages and strollers are welcome during both time slots, but organizers ask participants to sign up for the pace they plan on moving to avoid bottlenecks on the trail.

Registration is $20 for adults and $15 for minors at beatthebitter.com and includes:

  • A glow-in-the-dark participation medal
  • Silent Disco headphones. Wireless headsets will be offered at check-in, allowing participants to seamlessly switch between the three different channels of music
  • Photo opportunities among North Liberty Lights
  • A post-race gathering at event sponsor, Field Day Brewing. Field Day’s heated patio will be open for 5K-ish Glow Run participants and guests to enjoy a complimentary cup of hot chocolate and take photos with large GLOW RUN letters.

Capacity is limited and registration will be only be available night-of at an increased price if space allows.

In addition to the 5K-ish Glow Run, Beat the Bitter combats hibernation with the Snuggie Crawl (limited tickets remain), Scheels Ice Rink, Fire & Ice, North Liberty Lights and a variety of affiliated programs. A full schedule is available at beatthebitter.com.
