Blacklight Run

Do not do this run!!! They advertise it as being at Great America but you are not allowed in the park and are running through the parking lot for most of the run. Packers of color are $ 10 each which is ridiculous. While you are running, you come to a color station and there are one or two people putting color on you so runners are waiting in line to get color. At the end, you get one free packet of color. Big deal. Worst run I have ever done. Would not do it again!!!

This was the most disappointing 5k ever! The course was poorly lit and there were orange cones and picnic tables in the way. I almost fell at least 4 or 5 times due to all the tripping hazards. The course was all gravel for the most part. People blocked the glow zones and we had to go around just to make it through. There were probably about 10% of people actually running. Everyone else was walking and they were all over the course. No clear distinction on a «runner» side and a «walker» side. If you wanted to run you had to bob and weave around the people and obstacles. There was even a point at which they drove an ambulance onto the course that we had to avoid getting hit by. Not to mention– according to my gps it was only 2.6 miles (not even 5k) unless you are ok with walking the whole thing it is/​was a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!
