The Midnight Run is an underground race for those brave enough to push their limits. Racers start at the Black Cat Bar out on Highway 8 and will symbolically represent the dangers in a run between Phoenix and Prospect, battling through treacherous terrain, urban obstacles, and rival interference along the way. This event draws in street racers, gang affiliates, and adrenaline junkies looking to prove their skills and claim victory under the cover of night.
