| - Hugely disappointing and a significant waste of money!
Absolutely nothing like what is shown in the promotional pictures. People wear bright colors, go out of their way to paint their faces and splash each other with flourescent powder, but there are no black lights to make anything glow and most of the running is through parking lot style lighting, which isn't bright enough to make it easy to see nor dark enough to enjoy the flashing lights and glowing bands everyone wears.
The route lacks serious interest and consists of many of zig-zags back and forth through the same areas to save on space. Also, because it is an all ages event, nearly half of the bodies at the event were children.
Only a single vendor was present serving nachos, pretzels and overpriced cans of beer (and all of the pretzels caught fire while I was standing there!).
Runners were grouped into 2 large waves, so the entire event is over in less than an hour. $10 parking, $5 entry for "spectators" to sit and wait for runners to finish, but can't view the race. There is no real "concert" or after party, just the same "DJ" on the stage as when you first arrive, playing prerecorded top 40 hits all night.
Unbelievably dishonest marketing and major price gouging. Don't be fooled...THE NEON RUN IS A JOKE, A WASTE OF MONEY AND A SCAM!
