Walking and Running in the Dark: Safety Tips Backed by Crash Data
- Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026, so many after-work walks and runs will now end at dusk or in the dark.
- NHTSA counts runners as pedestrians. Of the 7,080 pedestrians killed in U.S. traffic crashes in 2024, 76% died in the dark, and in fall the most common time was 6 to 8:59 p.m. (29%).
- Drivers recognize you much later than you think. In closed-road studies, reflective markings on the ankles, knees and wrists ("biomotion") were recognized sooner than a reflective vest alone. Fluorescent colors help by day, not at night.

How we work
Fitness information you can check
The Fitness Falcon is an independent publication. This is how we research, date and correct what we publish.
Built on reliable sources
We research articles from public health agencies, peer-reviewed studies and official product specs, and our current guides link the sources they use.
Dated and kept current
Time-sensitive details such as prices, features and guidelines show when we checked them, and we update articles when they change.
Clear about limits
Reviews say when they are research-based rather than hands-on. Health content is general information, not medical advice.
