Be among the very first to experience BLINK 2026… before the festival officially opens.

Join Pig Works and BLINK, Illuminated by ArtsWave, for a one-of-a-kind nighttime run through downtown Cincinnati. This exclusive Tuesday evening event gives participants early access to select BLINK installations, transforming your run into an immersive journey through light, art, music, and creativity.

Starting at Elm Street Plaza, you'll follow a unique 2.6-mile route experiencing the magic and wonder of BLINK before the crowds arrive. This is not your typical race… it is a chance to move through the city, take in the art, and experience the energy of BLINK in a way few people ever will.

The course route and featured installations will be revealed soon.
