On Saturday 12th December 2026, the Millennium Night Run returns to Accra for its second edition. As the sun goes down, 2,000 runners will gather at El-Wak Sports Stadium in Cantonments to take on the city by night.
The Millennium Night Run was created to bring something new to running in Ghana: a race that blends fitness, music and celebration. Runners take to an illuminated route with live DJs, entertainment zones and supporters lining the way. At the finish, every participant receives a medal before the celebrations carry on into the night at the after-party.
The event offers two distances. The 10K is for runners looking to test themselves under the lights, whether they are chasing a personal best or stepping up to a new distance. The 5K run/walk is open to everyone, from first-time participants to families, friends and colleagues who want to share the experience together. Whatever the distance, the goal is the same: to run the night, feel the music and celebrate the moment.
