Wow, I would be scared to run that late! I just would not feel safe even carrying mace or something, plus even though we live in a moderate sized city (for NH) of 30,000, there's still a lot of wildlife out there I wouldn't want to run into in the dark. I have seen bear cubs a few hundred yards from where we live, and I'm sure the mama was not far away, and a friend's neighborhood nearby had problems with coyotes attacking some dogs, and we also have had moose and bobcat sightings in town.
Other than paying attention to skunks I don't really worry much about the wildlife. I have never really felt unsafe either. I don't run with anything, not even my cell phone, and have never felt in any danger when running late at night. YMMV of course.
