Event Description

Run a race & watch a movie at one of the most unique night running events in the South. The 8th Annual Vac & Dash Moonlight 5K, 10-Miler, Double Feature 1/2 Marathon & Movie starts and finishes at the Badin Road Drive-In in Albemarle, NC.    New this year, we have changed the 1/2 Marathon to a 10-mile run, which in turn changed the Double Feature 16.2-mile run into a Double Feature 1/2 Marathon!  Also, we will chip time this years event!

The run will be held on Sunday evening, May 26th.  It is the Sunday night before Memorial Day. Come on out and get your race in.  Enjoy a movie afterwards. Also, this is a great event to bring your support crew to, as they can watch a movie while you are running the 10-Miler.

The 5K starts at 7:00 pm and is a relatively flat course for the area.

The Ten-Miler starts at 9:00 pm. By running both races you will be in the Double Feature Half-Marathon  (3.1 + 10 = 13.1 miles).

Your support crew of family and friends can watch the movie while you run. The 5K & 1/2 Marathon are both limited to 125 participants in each race. Runners that participate in both events earn a Double Feature Runner Long-Sleeve shirt. Runners in the 5K and 1/2 get a Gildan Soft-Style Cotton Shirt. Age group awards for both races.

Finisher medals for all 1/2 Marathoners. Entry fee includes entry to the movie. Family and friends not running will pay the normal price to get into the movie. At this time, it's $6.00 per person to get into the drive-in. Runners in the 1/2 must wear reflective lights, light colored shorts and have as much reflective wear as possible.

Donations are being accepted to benefit the United Way of Stanly County.
