Join us to be a part of Santa Clarita's premier night run/walk at the annual Be The Light 5K in Valencia, California. Each year the greater Southern California community of runners and walkers come together to support youths in recovery through the A Light of Hope charity, to show them that we are here for them and together we can make a positive impact on their lives.  Bring your best night outfit, decked out with lights and colorful glow bands to shine your brightest in this awesome night run/walk. Register today, bring the family, friends, and make a team to bring a light of hope!
