REI Night Run

in partnership with HOKA ONE ONE

February

join our virtual night run!

Yes, we know it’s dark and gross outside. But what better time to test your running mettle than during a winter night run? On Feb. 28, REI and HOKA ONE ONE invite you to get your headlamp, your dog, grab a friend or three and pick a new loop, a new time, a new terrain—just something challenging to shake up your normal routine. The twist you choose is up to you the night of the run—your spirit for adventure is already waiting.

If the challenge isn’t incentive enough, we’ll donate $1 per registered runner to The Trust for Public Land (up to $10,000). The more runners, the more good we can do, so tell your friends and help us light up the night all across the country in the name of public lands, the power of collective action, and the magic of running at night.

FAQ

How much does it cost to participate

Not a penny. Just put on your shoes, put on a headlamp and get out there!

Where do I run

Anywhere! It's all up to you, but we suggest something new - new route, new location, new terrain.

Do I have to run

Mileage and speed don’t matter here—it’s all about getting outside and challenging yourself at night. And if you prefer to walk, skip, or roll, that’s good too.

Do I have to complete it on Feb. 28

We’re encouraging everyone to rally together that evening. But if you can’t make that work, we’d still love to see you get out for a night run when you can.

How do I participate

Register above (it’s free), then go for a night run on Feb. 28. That’s literally it. Whether you run for 10 minutes or 10 miles, we’ll donate $1 per registered runner to The Trust for Public Land (up to $10,000). As for who you run with, that’s entirely up to you. You can join a local meet-up, start your own meet-up, head out with a friend or pet, or enjoy the solitude of running by yourself. However you decide to partake, hashtag your night-run pics on Facebook and Instagram with #OptOutside.

Do I have to run with someone else

Nope. You can join a local meet-up, start your own meet-up, head out with a friend or pet, or enjoy the solitude of running by yourself. It’s up to you.

Do I need to submit my time or distance

Nope, but you can share with us by hashtagging #OptOutside in your social post if you want to.

How does the donations portion work

For every person who pledges to run, REI will donate $1 to The Trust for Public Land (up to $10,000). That’s it. It’s a simple, fun way to help support a great cause (and get yourself outside).

Do I have to buy an REI Night Run Cap when I register

Of course not, this is a free event. But if you want to show the world your co-op spirit and/or you need a cool new running hat, grab one of these limited-edition caps before March 5, while supplies last. All sales are final and shipping is limited to valid street addresses in the United States.

When will I receive my hat

Hats will ship after March 5. We'll work to get them to you quickly but unforeseen shipping issues can arise.

Do I need to be an REI Co-op member to participate

No. But if you’re not a member already, we’d love to have you join us. For a one-time $20 fee, you’ll join a welcoming community and get access to great member perks.

Can I use an REI gift card or REI Co-op Mastercard® to purchase my hat

You can use your REI Co-op Mastercard, but in light of the unique format of this event, the hat is not considered an REI purchase and we cannot accept REI gift cards.
