About Blacklight Run

Runners and walkers clad in white Blacklight Run T-shirts gather and prepare for the starting bell. Once it sounds, they take off to run a simple 5K route, but by end, they’ll hardly recognize themselves. That’s because along the way they will pass glow zones, where watchers douse them in a nontoxic neon powder that glows under the black lights and changes their clothes into artwork. Once they cross the finish line, they attend the Blacklight Run After Party, complete with DJ-spun tunes and another color throw every 15 minutes as photographers snap shots.

It would have been better if it were an actual 5k and streets were blocked off.

The event was so poorly run that it made it unsafe and not fun!!! We have done many other 5k events and this was definitely the worst!!! The event was supposed to start at 6:30 and have waves of runners released. The run didn't start until 7:30 and they let EVERYONE go at once, you couldn't run or jog - you were just herded through! There were not enough lights to see and the course was poorly marked, so people didn't know where to run. There wasn't event staff along the way to help, do of someone got hurt there wouldn't have been any help. Also when we got to the color stations 2 of the 3 were out of powder- people were trying to pick some up off the ground and throw it on themselves!!!

Poorly organized not enough staff for the event I would never ask for my money back because a portion is donated to charity but I would not do another one of their runs again. I did the color run at the same location a few months back and had a blast it was well organized and the track was marked properly.

Event was delayed, seemed poorly organized. Too many people at the race all at once, couldn't run for parts of the race.

Very unorganized event-- initially a large mob of people were racing in the wrong direction. Race started late. Not enough blacklight powder. I still had a fun night, but was surprised at the disorganization and lack of direction.

The event was poorly organized. The staff never directed the participants of where to start and no one had an idea of start or finish times. Staff was very minimal making the experience frustrating and people left before the run started due to their frustration.

Couldn't attend and was too late to pass it on to a friend because of the registration deadline. Wish I could've gotten my money back. Had to eat it. Sucks!
