night running

Evening exercise outdoors

Night running is the practice of running outdoors after dark, whether for exercise, schedule convenience, or preference for cooler temperatures and quieter streets.

The activity requires attention to visibility and safety: She wears reflective gear for her night runs.

Night running can also refer to illicit nocturnal activities—smuggling, poaching, or moving contraband under cover of darkness.
