Run Through the Lights Before They Open!
United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile is thrilled to bring back the Christmas Nights In Lights 5K & Fun Run — a festive tradition that lit up the community from 2015–2019 and again in 2021. After a brief pause, this beloved event is back, giving participants the only chance to run or walk through the dazzling Christmas Nights In Lights before it opens to the public.
On Thursday, November 20, 2025, join more than 600 runners, walkers, and families for an unforgettable evening filled with millions of twinkling lights, holiday cheer, and community spirit. The 5K kicks off at 6:15 PM, followed by the family-friendly Fun Run at 7 PM, all starting at Dauphin Way Baptist Church.
Advance registration is $40 for adults and $30 for ages 2–12, with proceeds benefiting UCP of Mobile’s mission to create a Life Without Limits for children and adults with disabilities.
