Northern Lights 5K Color Glow Run

About the Event

Color runs and glow runs are a great way to get outside, maybe train a little or even an easy way to claim that you're a "runner." Getting garbed up in some fantastic glow items (available for sale at the race) and then getting covered in fluorescent, totally safe color powder (extra powder will be on sale) makes for some perfect photos, too.

The 5K Color Glow Run will begin with an explosion of color powder to kick off the race. Volunteers have set up themed experiences at glow stations for you to run through along the course. At each kilometer mark, there will be color splash spots where you can add a different color to your body by running through or bypassing the color throwers if you don't want to get "splashed."

Registration and packet pickup begins at noon on Friday, September 20 in Whiteside Park. New registrants may register and pick up their packets between 12:00 pm and 5:45 pm on race day for an additional $5.

The Ely Marathon is an annual event that offers a variety of food and fun activities throughout the Ely area.
