The 2nd annual Dallas Glow Run on October 14th will be a ton of fun and the proceeds benefit the Dallas Christmas Cheer Fund,  a local non-profit that provides assistance to children and families in need.

Whether you want to participate in the 5k fun run/walk or have a kiddo who would like the do the Kid’s Dash, it’s going to be a blast. The race begins and ends at the Academy Building and covers both trails and roads along Dallas City Park and Downtown Dallas. Dogs are not allowed on the course, but sturdy strollers are welcome! All participants must wear a headlamp.

The Kid’s dash begins at 6:30PM and the costume contest will begin at 6:45PM. The 5k Fun Run/Walk will start at 7:00PM.

Every 5k participant will receive a t-shirt, a headlamp, a free drink ticket, a free Dominos Pizza ticket, and glow sticks with their registration. However, shirts are only guaranteed until online registration closes on October 6th, so register for this race soon!
