About the DECU 5K Glow Run for Empowerment Opportunity Center
The course runs through Forsyth Park, staying mostly on the bike path. It is lit up for the evening, with volunteers posted along the route to keep people on course. The glow theme is taken seriously: runners show up in light-up gear, and there is a contest for the brightest outfit.
Packet pickup is available earlier in the week at a local credit union, with a second window at the park the evening before. Post-race food and drink are set up at the finish. The race benefits Empowerment Opportunity Center.
