Fun Race

Fun race, but course did not have as much glow in it as I had thought. For this being a "glow race", I expected there to be a lot more on the course itself.

Great fun run!

I did this race with my family and it was such a blast. We were given a lot of glow accessories and a glow in the dark medal. There was a colorful arch and so many participants having a blast at the dance party. I hope they add more glow on the course for the next run.

Great Run

I did this with my husband who is way more athletic than me. I loved the option to do the more competitive route or the fun route. There was so much glow swag and the medal was awesome! I loved the dance party and seeing everyone have a blast. Can't wait for the next one!
