I haven’t run a lot of races, but this was definitely quite a unique experience. On Saturday night I ran in Living Social’s 5k Dance Party in NYC.

Think more of a dance party than an actual race. In fact a large portion of racers weren’t running at all, but that was no problem because it was all about having fun and moving! I didn’t time myself because I don’t know if the track was even a full 5k (felt a little short.)

I just had a great time dance/running at night covered in glow sticks. Plus there was an awesome after party inside the stadium at the finish line.

I hope I can do more fun runs like this in the future. I love the idea that they can bring people together who wouldn’t normally race, but maybe inspire them to do a race in the future.

It reminded me how much I love the atmosphere of people coming together to get active.

Questions:

1. Have you ever done a “fun” run like this?
2. What was your favorite race?
3. What race have you always wanted to run?
