Run, Ravers

When it comes to 5Ks, Miami's got plenty: mud runs, color runs, zombie runs. But none of them have embraced the EDM scene that's helped fund Miami's economy over the years. Until now. Meet the Glow Run 5K, a running rave complete with black lights, glow sticks, and techno beats...

When it comes to 5Ks, Miami's got plenty: mud runs, color runs, zombie runs. But none of them have embraced the EDM scene that's helped fund Miami's economy over the years. Until now. Meet the Glow Run 5K, a running rave complete with black lights, glow sticks, and techno beats. Runners decked out in all-things-luminescent will hightail it through 3.1 miles of black light zones, spinning DJs, and finally, a finish line featuring a glowing chute and arch. The run itself is "very casual for people that want to run casually, and competitive for those that want to run competitively. It's something for everybody," says Steve Blew, Glow Run event director. Scheduled for November 3, the Miami Beach race route will start and finish in Lummus Park.
