About the Dye Hard 5K
The Dye Hard 5K runs at night, with black lights lining the course and volunteers throwing fluorescent powder on runners as they pass. It is untimed, so nobody is racing anybody. The mood is closer to a block party that happens to involve running than anything you would train for.
