The event expands this year with added LED lighting to make after-dark crawling easier and an ever-growing parking lot course. Each camp is encouraged to build a small obstacle for the night runs so everyone can take part, even those who prefer not to walk the rocks after dark. Scale garages and Montana themed scale builds are welcome, and lights on vehicles are strongly encouraged. Sponsor and raffle details will be shared as they become available.
