About Color Blast 5k LLC


Everyone runner that arrives at the ColorBlast 5K Glo Run's end point looks like he or she just escaped in from an exploding neon factory. In addition to sporting this prismatic new fashion statement, they all seem to have smiles on their faces. That's because the event is more of a celebration than a competition—sporting the fanciest glow sticks takes precedence over getting the best time you can. In fact, lingering at key points along the 5K route is encouraged. It's at these locations, named rave stations, that runners encounter a mini-disco full of black lights, disco balls, and even a live DJ. After snapping a couple hundred selfies, racers can continue to the finish line, where the DJ will be spinning both music and lights. These pounding beats and futuristic glow announce a collective victory, not just for each participant but the community as a whole. 100% of proceeds from each Color Blast 5K Glo Run benefits Omni Youth Services and local food banks.

It was such a fun race & a great one to get me started with doing 5k's again!!! I loved that it wasn't timed & it was just a fun thing to do with a group of friends. A few things that could help the event be even better is to have mile markers, so if you don't own a stop watch or pedometer you knew. Also, at the last color blast spot where the blue was they ran out of color before the race ended & heard people got pelted in the face with the color. Overall it was an amazing run & my friends & I can't wait to do it next year!!!

My daughter and I are very excited to be able to do this event. We would not have been able to do this event and the regular rate.
