The days are getting shorter, and for many of us, that means running in the dark. But night running doesn’t have to be scary — with the right gear, it can be safe, empowering, and even a little magical.In this episode of Behind the Bib, I break down the essentials for running after dark: from the Noxgear light vest and wrist light, to headlamps, reflective clothing, pet lights, and budget-friendly blinking clip-ons. I’ll share the strategies that help you stay visible to drivers, keep your footing on uneven routes, and protect your four-legged running buddies too.We’ll also talk through practical safety tips — like running against traffic, leaving one earbud out, and letting someone know your route — so you can get your miles in without worry.Whether you’re training for fall races or just trying to keep your streak alive through the shorter days, this is your complete toolkit for night running.NOXGEAR COUPON CODE: BEHINDTHEBIBUPCOMING LOCAL RACESOCT 18: Liz Hurley Ribbon Run 5kOCT 25: Helping Hands Half Marathon and 5kNOV 01: KoC Tootsie Roll 5k and Fun RunNOV 08: Huntsville Half MarathonNOV 22: Dam-Bridge Run 10kNOV 30: Ditto Landing 10k DEC 13: Rocket City Marathon weekend Sign up for⁠ ⁠HuntsvilleRuns.com⁠⁠ to get all your local run updates - delivered every Sunday by the always amazing Will Nevin.
