2025 Summer Solstice Endurance Run

Event Details

Welcome to the 19th Annual Summer Solstice Endurance Runs. This is your opportunity to see just how far you can run on a warm, summer night in West Texas! If you don't want to run that long or far, we have a 5 Mile Race as well!

The location will be at Redbud Park in South Abilene. The race start/finish area will be at the playground location near the middle of the park. All runners/walkers will start at 9:00 PM. The course will be the one mile loop at Redbud Park, which will be well lit after dark.

We will have a well-stocked aid station providing Gatorade, water, snacks like peanuts, chips, Oreos, and M&Ms. If you carry your own water bottle or hydration pack, you can refill it after every loop. After your run, there will be plenty of food provided at no charge, thanks to local merchants.

Chip Timing by Abilene Runners Club will be in place, and you will receive information on your total laps, distance, and finishing time.
