Downtown Wilmington and It’s Go Time welcome you to the AvanceCare Dashing Thru The Glow 5K. Join us as we bring together the Christmas spirit, family fun, and entertainment along the beautiful Cape Fear River.

Run or walk through the holiday lights in downtown Wilmington, take pictures next to the Christmas Tree, meet Santa himself, and stay for the Downtown Wilmington Holidays on the Water Drone Show.The elves will be at the finish line passing out Finisher Medals to all the good little boys and girls who finish the 5K and 1 Mile. To make this event even better, everyone receives a light up holiday beanie.
