**Full Disclosure: My family and I get to participate in the Get Up & Glow 5K in exchange for this post. No other compensation was received. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
When I heard about the Get Up & Glow 5K, I knew I wanted to be a part of it! And not just for me, but for my kids, and maybe my parents, as well! My husband agreed after I told him we could put Colin in the stroller and my Mom even said yes! (I am still trying to talk my Dad into it!) I cannot wait!!

I have done color, mud, foam – I have GOT to do a glow run! SOOOOO awesome!
Fly on in! I’ll pick you up!
How exciting! The last 5k I did was a blast!
You can take the stroller in this one? I love that!
I like the glow aspect of this… cool.
This sounds like so much fun! I’ll have to see if there is something similar in my area.
This sounds like it would be so much fun!
Looks like a fun 5k. I’ve heard of color runs but not glow runs….very cool!
It’s fun when families can join in something like. I bet that finisher award is cool
Me too! I can’t wait to see it (and take a family photo with them!)!
OMG good for you.
Woohoo!!
Are you doing it?!
This looks like sooo much fun. Won’t be able to make it to this one, but hopefully I will catch the next one! Have fun!!
That sounds like a lot of fun!! I’ve never done a 5k but this one sounds like one I would love to do with my son.
How fun! I wish I could do it!
Next year?! (I am not a runner – I am a walker!)
I am so excited your doing this! I wish I was closer so I could participate!!
That sounds like fun! We do the Color Me Rad 5k every year, so awesome. Though we have never participated in a glow run. Now I want to, though. LOL
So much fun!!! I’m doing the Run or Dye in Abilene, Texas in August. I can’t wait. I bet you guys have a blast!
Oh fun! (But in AUGUST?! I actually WOULD die! 😉 )
I know right!! Hoping I’ll sweat off extra pounds for it.
I just recently completed my very first 5k and I had a blast! I cried at the finish line because I accomplished something I had been wanting to for a while!
YAY!! Good for you!! (I am not a runner, but I enjoy walking these 5ks!)
