About Under the Moon 5K
Come for the race, stay for the party!!!
If you joined us last year then you found out JUST HOW MUCH FUN IT IS TO PARTY ON THE PLAZA!!! The Plaza of CoolToday Park that is!! You know that BIG green grassy area in front of the stadium??? Yep- we're taking over again and throwing a PARTY!!! Oh, and we're gonna run a few miles!!!
This is NOT your typical 5K running event!! This is more of a--- let's take in the sights of this beautiful route, running or walking, and then let's spend the rest of the night partying and dancing and hanging out with a lot of really cool people!!! There will be food, music, awards, and more than likely a conga line at some point!!! Either way, it's going to be a BLAST!!!!
Also- don't forget this event sells out EVERY year!!! So don't sit on the launch pad too long and miss the take off!! Jet over to registered status asap!
Astronauts take off at 8pm, the launch pad is at Cool Today Park!
Interested in Sponsoring??
