Nine years ago, Kristen Galbraith was on a run with a friend when she had an idea. That idea was for a fun run to raise money for local charities in Livingston. The first installation of her “Night Owl Run” attracted 99 runners. 
 
“Which we thought was a lot,” Galbraith said. “We thought we’d have 30.”
 
Eight years later, that number has ballooned to 345 runners, and Galbraith is projecting another spike in participation. In the run’s first eight years, it has raised over $38,000.
