Heck NO! This run is designed to be fun! Do we encourage you to actually run? Yes! Can you walk? absolutely! There are plenty of other great 5ks out there to test your peak performance. However, this 5k is not designed like that! The Neon Run is all about a Wild and Crazy Neon Party with friends and family.

It’s not that complicated. You do not register as a team online but you can run as a team or group. Then when you take photos at the MASSIVE NEON GLOW EXPERIENCE you can take team/group photos. There is no “relay” component and team members can finish together as a unit or separately.

YES, we do. One of our greatest visions for The Neon Run is bringing fun, memories, and fundraising to local communities. We select a different local organization for each city. To see the specific charity we use for each city, check out the location’s race page.

It is a water-based solution that will wash out of clothes. We do not recommend wearing clothing that you wish to not be tampered with. Like with any clothing that gets paint, color, or dirt on it you should wash ASAP to lessen the effects.

A contracted First Aid and Emergency Service will be provided for the event. Mobile teams move throughout the course to assist you promptly.

There will be portable toilets located at the Start/Finish Line for participant and spectator use. There will be NO toilets along the course!

Ok, so this is probably the most common question! The Neon glowing solution that we have created will not affect vision, taste, or breathing IF you follow guidelines of how The Neon Run works. So that means NO squirting into eyes under high pressure, ingesting large amounts, or doing anything other than getting it on the exterior of your body!

It may affect the interior of your car. Most people bring some towels for the insides of their cars, just in case.

Yes, there will be use of black lights and LED lights! These lights are strategically designed to enhance your Neon experience! They will not cause a sun burn, but please do not stand in front of it for hours on end!
