Running Alone in Amarillo’s Dark | Amarillo News

Jeff Wyrick’s “No Sleep Til Wolflin” is his midnight running ritual—usually at 4:45 AM—with his dog, turning Amarillo’s quiet, dark streets into a personal sanctuary. He captures the city’s raw beauty under moonlight and streetlights, contrasting it with today’s blinding LED glare. While acknowledging risks like drunks or sketchy encounters—he even checks police scanners—he says the pre-dawn stillness is worth it. A self-proclaimed stargazer, he loves Amarillo’s clear skies and stars like Polaris and Orion’s Belt, but laments how city lights ruin the view. He’s calling for dimmer urban lighting so future generations can reconnect with the night sky—and maybe just appreciate the quiet before the world wakes up.
