Night-time fun-run event Neon Run comes to the UK this year, and is partnering with Virgin Money Giving to enable participants to raise funds for charity.
Neon Run will take place in Leeds and Sunderland this year on 18 and 25 October respectively, run by Sport 3 Event Management UK.
Neon Run is a 5km “night-time spectacular run” with four on-course neon zones of rock, disco, pop and iconic British music featuring lasers, black lights, strobes, dancers, and DJs to keep runners entertained along the course. In Australia and South America Neon Runs have attracted over 10,000 people to each event.
