Night Nation Run

Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds, Del Mar, California

The race fee was $29.99 per person for the basic package. All the basic package included was entry, the race number and one single glow stick. 

The course was very sparse and voice of music or fun. The music and party atmosphere was only at the beginning and one place in the middle.

It definitely was not worth the money.

The Blacklight Run

March 2016

Sleep Train Amphitheater, Chula Vista, California

The Blacklight run is a night time colorful, glow, 5k. Basic registration included a t shirt, and each person got a bag of the colored powder. 

As with the other similar colorful runs, the powder is completely safe.  The difference with the Blacklight run is that the powder is treated to glow under Blacklight. 

The course was a mix of surfaces. They used some blacktop areas and some grassy areas. The one weird thing about the course was that there was not enough space to set up a full course, so parts of it were just winding back and forth in a small area like going through a roller coaster queue. 

The other item that was kind of weird was there was no music or anything as part of the beginning, there was only a DJ for the "afterparty" after a good quantity of people had gone through the course. So those who went first or were faster had to stand around as long as an hour to wait.
