This past weekend, Josh and I had the opportunity to run TheGloRun, a nighttime 5K with glow sticks. We were given two free registrations for the Indianapolis event in exchange for reviewing the race. All opinions here are completely ours.Registration & Pre-Race
Registration was really simple. The website is easy to navigate and loads quickly. The mobile version works well too. There are two options for registration: an untimed fun run for participants who want to take their time through the course, taking pictures and enjoying the glo zones; and a chip-timed race for runners who want the extra challenge. Both options come with a cute t-shirt and three glow sticks. (Josh is wearing the shirt in the pic at the end of this post.) Timed racers also receive a finisher's medal and a small flashlight. There is extra gear for purchase - light-up headbands, extra glow sticks, upgraded shirts, sunglasses for teams of 5, etc.
Pre-race communications were good. We received several e-mails reminding us of packet pickup times and locations, event schedule, and just hyping the fun. Packet pickup was conveniently located at Blue Mile in Broad Ripple from 11am to 6pm the day before the race. It was well organized and we didn't have to wait at all. There were also options for event day pickup, or having your packet mailed to you ahead of time for a small extra charge.
