Glow in the Park

The themed alternative fun-run trend doesn’t stop with mud, colored powder, slime and foam. Coming to Spokane this weekend is a locally founded (by the folks who put on July’s Negative Split), inaugural glow run along the Centennial Trail. Just as its name implies, this 3.1-mile event is all about the neon and glow-in-the-dark. Attendees should go all out with glowsticks, blinky lights and day-glo attire to stand out along the illuminated course, which also features “party stations” at each half-mile. This event doesn’t end when runners cross the finish line. There’s an all-ages, post-race party in the breezeway of the INB, with music, food and drink to recharge after what’s anticipated to be a high-energy evening run.
