Electrodash 5k

  • by

Running is one of the best things I ever started doing after my separation from my ex-husband. It has helped me be both mentally and physically healthier, and it I one of the ways that I can always challenge myself.

The first race that I ever ran was Warrior Dash in 2011. That was was an incredible challenge. A little over three miles of obstacles, water, mud, fire… At that point it was the longest distance I’d ever run. The medal I received from that is my key chain, and it’s a constant reminder of my accomplishment.

Since then I’ve run a number of races, and I’ve run distances up to 10k.

Considering that I had never run more than 400 meters at a time until I was I was 31-years-old, I encourage everyone who wants to start running to do so. If I can do it, so can you!

And there’s a fun race coming up on March 21 to get you started: the ElectroDash 5k. You’ll don neon and glow sticks for this night run, while you race through lasers, floating jellies, and even a galaxy or two. Electronic music have you dancing while you’re racing through the Florida State Fairgrounds. The race map looks amazing (see below), and you get all kinds of goodies with race registration; including, a t-shirt, race number, glow glasses, and a glow bracelet. Come out and get healthy while having fun!  😀

  1. This is my kind of run- there are glowing lights, dancing and friends! Plus- I need motivation to run/walk more!

    1. That’s the great thing about doing races. Run, walk, dance? It doesn’t matter. There are people wearing “normal” running clothes and people in tutus. It’s all in the name of health and fun!

  2. I just started running a few weeks ago so this will be my first race. I love dancing while running/exercising! Ask my neighbors; I dance through the neighborhood while on my runs. Looks like fun!

  3. Thank you to everyone who entered the drawing. I created random numbers in Excel, and the two lowest numbers get dips on the tickets. Jennifer and Taegan are our winners! (I’ll be contacting them directly as well.)
