Fits Do Race Previews: Electric Run KCMO

By LL in KCMO

Back in the day, I really enjoyed 5k races. I would sign up for every fun race that came to town. Recently, I've stuck to half marathons instead. However, when I learned from a co-worker that the Electric Run is coming to KCMO, I got excited and immediately went to my computer to register. But registration doesn't start until 9:05 a.m. today! First 50 registrants get LED shades!


Here is a little information about the Electric Run.


A 5k run/walk that is as much show as it is run.
Electric Run™ is a 5k run, a show, participation art, and celebration of life. Incredibly talented artists and lighting technicians with experience creating beautiful art and light at Coachella, Dreamworks Animations, Disney, and some of Vegas’ hottest shows have come together to create  a world that will fill you with wonder.
Participation Art / What to wear
The Electric Run is a show; the course is the set and the participants are the cast! Come let your light shine and your creative juices flow. Add your own creative spark by dressing up in other-worldy costumes that glow, shine, blink, and dazzle. Show us all what you’ve got!
Lighting elements
Each course will have 5-10 distinct lighting experiences which will include different artistic elements and different moods. Some will be very energetic others will be more etherial. Our in-house DJs will be working with our Art and Lighting Directors to create custom mixes that work with the visual mood in each world.

The race will be in Kansas City, MO on August 1st. It should be a fun, unique experience. I'm excited to participate and so will be my husband...he just doesn't know he is running it yet!
