2026 Screech’s Night Owl 5K
Glow Run and Fun Walk
Friday, October 16 | 7 PM | APGFCU Arena
Ready, Set, GLOW! Join us on October 16th, 2026, for Screech's Night Owl 5K Glow
Run and Fun Walk at Harford Community College! This fun event takes place at 7:00
PM in the evening to allow our runners the opportunity to wear glow items, glow in
the dark clothing, etc. All proceeds from the event support Athletic Scholarships
for Student Athletes at Harford Community College.
At Harford Community College, our student athletes are at the top of their game, on
and off the court and field. By participating in one of Harford's thirteen NJCAA sports,
they make a commitment to excel not only in their sport, but in the classroom. Harford's
student athletes accomplish great things during their time with us and beyond–they
excel at giving back to the community and many of our students transfer to a university
to play at the NCAA level and earn a bachelor's degree.
For questions or to see how you can get involved, please contact Julia McElhone-Singer
at jmcelhonesinger@harford.edu for additional information.

We have created a virtual race option for those who would like to participate but are not local or are unable to attend the in-person race.
Here's how the virtual race works:
- Register for the virtual event, and sign up for text or e-mail notifications
- Unfortunately, we are unable to mail any of the virtual race shirts. You are able to pick up your shirt at the Packet Pick-up location listed below or your materials will be mailed to you post-race.
- You'll receive a text or email (if you opt in) when the race "starts" on October 16th.
- Run your race and submit your results either by text message or email (if you've opted in) or by heading to the results page here by October 18th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time). Results update in real time as people submit their times. Be sure to take a selfie and post on social media.
