NOT YOUR DAYTIME 5K.
Most fun runs hand you a tutu and a powdered-sugar cloud. We take over the city after sundown and turn the course itself into the show — glow corridors, color zones, sound sectors, smoke tunnels — then drop you into a finish-line block party with a real DJ.
SIX REASONS YOU'LL SHOW UP
It's at night.
Cooler air. Better light. City streets that actually feel like yours. We start at dusk and run into dark.
The course is the show.
Themed zones every quarter mile — glow tunnels, blacklight forests, color drops, fire-and-ice corridors.
Sound sectors.
The course is staged like a festival. Each zone runs its own track, sync'd so the bass meets you at the right step.
Race or roll.
Chip-timed for the runners. Walker- and stroller-friendly waves for the everyone-else. Both finish under the same arch.
Squad pricing.
Bring four, the fifth runs free. Teams of 10+ get matching colorways and dedicated start corrals.
The after-party.
The finish line isn't the end — it's the door. Local DJ, food trucks, sponsor village, photo wall, glow refills.
PICK YOUR FLAVOR
Each tour stop rotates a flagship theme. Bring the right wardrobe — or buy the kit at packet pickup.
Glow Run 5K
Blacklight corridors, UV-reactive paint, and 10,000 glow sticks handed out at the start. Wear white. Leave glowing.
Color Dash 5K
Six color zones. Six clean shirts ruined on purpose. Walker-friendly. Bring a bandana.
Neon 5K
Full electroluminescent kit at the start line. The course becomes a moving neon sign — drone shots love this one.
Zombie Chase
You start with three flags on a belt. Lose them all to the chasers and you "turn." Survivors get a free re-entry to any future event.
Disco Mile
A one-mile loop themed like a rolling discotheque. Strollers welcome. Bring the kids; embarrass the kids.
Fire & Ice 10K
Two halves: heat-lamp lit "fire" zone, then a cool-blue "ice" zone with snow cannons at the turn. Two themed shirts, one bib.
THE NIGHT, START TO FINISH
5:00 PM — Village Opens
Packet pickup, sponsor village, food trucks, photo wall. Bring your ID and your crew.
7:30 PM — Wave 1 Start
Racers off first, then walkers. Waves go every 15 minutes so the course never bunches up.
9:30 PM — After-Party
DJ kicks in at the finish arch. Stays open two hours past the last finisher.
