"Dark runs hit different. You'll see."
Dark runs are quieter, cooler, and oddly calmer. Visibility kit is a one-time purchase. The first one feels weird; the tenth one is your favorite kind.
- Reflective vest plus a small headlamp covers most cases.
- Run on lit streets or known routes.
- Tell someone your route + ETA, or share live location.
FAQ
Is it safe to run alone after dark?
Pick well-lit, populated routes. Avoid headphones in headphone-loud cities. Trust your gut and turn around if something feels off.
What about morning twilight?
Same kit, same rules. Many find pre-dawn the best time of day.
