Your Pace. Your Way. Through the Lights.
United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile is reimagining a favorite holiday tradition! The former Christmas Nights In Lights 5K & Fun Run is now the Christmas Nights In Lights Stroll—a relaxed, family-friendly event that lets you experience the magic of Christmas Nights In Lights your way.
On Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 6:30–8 PM, walk, run, roll or stroll through the dazzling Nights In Lights display at Dauphin Way Baptist Church before it opens to the public. There’s no starting gun, no race clock and no required pace — come when you’d like and enjoy millions of twinkling lights at your own speed. Wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and other mobility devices are welcome. Fun family activities, food and special holiday guests to make the evening even more magical.
Admission is $60 for a family pass, $20 for adults and teens ages 13+, and $15 for children ages 12 and under, with proceeds benefiting UCP of Mobile and our mission to create a Life Without Limits for children and adults with disabilities. A Special Note About Our Family Pass: Our Family Pass is designed for families and loved ones who share the same household. While Christmas Nights in Lights Stroll is a fundraiser supporting the programs and services of UCP of Mobile, our greatest wish is to bring families together to celebrate the joy, wonder, and magic of the Christmas season. We can't wait to make special holiday memories with you!
Come experience a Mobile holiday favorite in a whole new way — walk it, run it, roll it or stroll it!
