We'll have your choice of a WONDER WOMAN, SUPERMAN, BATMAN or THE JOKER cape for every runner - so pick your squad! Then, spend time after the run riding some of our world-class coasters for the best post-run cool down.

We encourage you to start covering yourself in your glow powder here before the race begins.

The race will be inside and outside the park. You may walk or run, and will get more glow powder thrown on you along the way. There will be color and blacklight stations so you will see just how much you glow!

We will not be actively timing the run, so for the serious runners it is recommended you bring your watch or timing device if you want to keep fully accurate track of your training.

After the race, all runners are encouraged to stay and enjoy some Exclusive Superhero Glow Run Ride Time! Get a chance to ride some of the best rides in the Midwest before the summer gets into full swing. 

We will also have tasty treats and awesome merchandise available for purchase during the party, PLUS the DJ will be playing all the hits for you to dance the night away. This is definitely a post-party everyone can enjoy!

Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
