Sneak A Peek
5K Run
& 3 Mile Walk
Two nights at Lynn Creek Park before the gates open to the public. Run or walk the light show route, wrapped in a mile of tunnels, canopies and a million bulbs — no traffic, no lines.
Chip-timed 5K through the light display. Gates open 4:30 p.m., race begins 6:00 p.m.
Family-paced 3 mile walk. Strollers welcome. Same route, no clock.
Registration is limited each night.
Two nights inside the lights,
before anyone else.
The Prairie Lights Sneak A Peek gives runners and walkers exclusive after-hours access to the light display at Lynn Creek Park — two full nights before the public drive-through officially opens for the season.
Saturday night is a chip-timed 5K run through the route; Sunday night is a 3 mile family walk at your own pace. Both nights include a commemorative t-shirt and a goody bag, and every registration supports the City of Grand Prairie's Parks, Arts & Recreation programs.
The earlier you register, the less you pay.
Fees step up on set dates and registration closes October 31 — or sooner if a night sells out.
Registration includes a commemorative t-shirt and goody bag — supplies are limited and t-shirt sizes are not guaranteed after early registration closes.
