What is It's Glow Time?

What would happen if a 5K was held in a nightclub? It would look like It's Glow Time! Join us for a 5K Run/Walk with one of the best party atmospheres around. All of our events happen at twilight, starting under black lights and lazers with a DJ pumping up the crowd. Along the race route there are party zones, each with their own musical entertainment. We've designed our party zones so participants wanting to stay in the zone and jam for a bit can enter Party Zone in the Jam Lane, while the more serious runners can run through in the Fast Lane. All of our events end with a huge post-race party with live music, sponsor food and drink, black lights and lazers. If you're looking for a unique event friendly to all fitness levels, offering the best post-race party around then you've found it - It's Glow Time!

What Else do I Need to Know for It's Glow Time?

Packet Pick Up: Madison

You have 2 opportunities to get your race materials, or register (if you haven't yet):

1.) May 10th, 2013 from 4 PM - 8 PM at Willow Island

2.) May 11th, 2013 from 5 PM - 7:30 PM at Willow Island

What you need for packet pick up:

Your photo ID - we want to make sure the person who paid for the registration gets to have the fun!

If you are registering or planning on making a purchase at our Glow Store, you need an acceptable form of payment. We WILL be able to accept credit cards at the store and at registration; however technology being what it is (who hasn't lost their internet connection?), we do recommend you bring a back up form of payment just in case.

PARTICIPANTS MUST PICK UP THEIR OWN PACKETS! YOU MAY NOT PICK UP OTHER PARTICIPANT’S PACKETS UNLESS THEY ARE YOUR CHILD. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We understand that not being able to pick up your teammate’s packets seems like an inconvenience, but we actually have 2 really good reasons why we do it this way:

We need to see your ID and make sure the person who paid for the event and signed the participation waiver is the person claiming your entry. We really want the person who paid to be the one who has the fun!
There are an awful lot of you coming through packet pick up! Our production company is involved in over 150 events each year, and we have always seen slow- downs and longer lines when people get to pick up one another’s packets. For smaller events, that’s no biggie, but with around 5,000 people coming through packet pick up, we really need to get you through the line and started on the fun as fast as possible.

Info on DJ Urbane:

Now known for her abilities to rock a club crowd, Dj Urbane (Chandon Williams) found her djing roots in drum and bass 13 years ago and now is opening for internationally know acts such as Havana Brown, Dj Blend and The Cataracs and Dj Flipside of Jump Smokers to name a few. Although she is mainly know for big room euro, remixed pop and electro, she can access a variety of music to entertain a diverse crowd. Whether international, mainstream or underground, Dj Urbane can appropriately accommodate all audiences. It doesnʼt matter where, who or what is going on in the venue, she has an impeccable ability to read the crowd and give them what they want. Her training is not only limited to the dj world; she also has a Masters in Oriental Medicine, making her an acupuncturist by day. This level of education and attention to detail flows effortlessly into her dj sets. Not only does she have perfect mixing skills and know exactly when to drop certain tracks, but she uses her own audiovisual decor or video to enhance the experience.

Dj Urbane brings a great level of energy to every set. She is known for encouraging crowd participation, dancing and jumping around during her sets. She is there to enhance and lead the audience as they experience the set together, not apart. Once listeners hear and experience a set by Dj Urbane, they are hooked. If you are looking for a fun, flawless and professional dj, Dj Urbane is the one for your event.
