Seize the Day, Seize the Night at Carpe Diem – Carpe Noctem on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at Proud Lake State Recreation Area.

Between races, runners are encouraged to stay and enjoy a relaxed community atmosphere with hot food, a potluck, recovery stretch from Advanced Physical Therapy, lawn games, music, coffee, and campfires.
