Electric Run pointers:
- You can totally get away with just showing up without paying for registration. Wish I knew
- Target $1 glow in the dark packs don't come with connectors. Very upsetting
- Since it's at night you're going to hit a lot of traffic! Plan on arriving early!
- Getting a group together and dressing in theme could be a lot of fun
- Some places got muddy because of the rain, so wear your crummy kicks
- If you do have a group get glow in the dark rope and attach yourselves together like a centipede. The chances of getting lost is slim to none
The team missing Albert and I
I had a ton of glow sticks and ran out of places to put them so most of them ended up in Jenna's shirt.
Getting glowed up!
This is my old friend Maria. We're twins in many ways.
It was so fun running through these with all the music.
Hi, thanks for your overview of the run! I saw some mixed reviews on their FB and Yelp.. And wow I didn't know people could just show up and run for free. I already registered, but it might be possible to volunteer to run for free instead.. I'm still trying to figure that out. I'll be doing the Electric Run in SD, so I hope they'll do a better job or at least consider some of the constructive criticism from their first run.
ReplyDeleteHey Jamie. They weren't really checking for bibs at all and plus it was chilly so a lot of people showed up in jackets or sweaters. So getting away with just showing and participating in the event is quite simple. People just gotta live with the guilt of cheating the system ;) If you could pay for registration though, do it because I'm sure a lot of the proceeds go for a good cause. Plus you get snazzy light up gear. And yes, it was a lot of fun! See ya in SD!
