This is the "Before" picture. Bag in hand, ready to find some bare people to blast with color!

Getting ready to start the race! People were released in waves of 1,000.

Can you feel the energy? We're ready to start the race and we're already covered in paint!

Post Run: VibeParty! It was truly a celebration at its finest. Glow sticks, paint, an awesome DJ, and amazing company!

I took a little break halfway--perfect photo opportunity. If this is what I looked half way done...Can you imagine what I looked like after?

Post run: Some people got really creative with their outfits! These ladies used LED's to lighten up their tutu skirts!
The focus was much more than just endurance at this 5k. Participants started the race as bare canvases and transformed into works of art with every step.
Neon Vibe brought together thousands of people to a night filled with music, fun, and what seemed like an endless supply of powdered dye.
The crowd was pumped to run this course knowing that every inch of their body would be covered in paint. Some folks couldn’t resist the wait and walked around with dye in hand chanting “run or dye” ready to blast their next target with a multitude of colors.
As if people needed more motivation, participants were given a Neon Vibe T-shirt, packets of powdered dye, and the AfterVibe dance party to look forward to right past the finish line.
There were Glow Zones throughout the course with fluorescent glow lights and volunteers ready to dump powdered paint as participants made their way through. People of all ages completed the course and proceeds from the event went to the Miami Children’s Hospital.
