A few months ago a group of fellow Lazy Girls from our work decided to form a team and enter the Neon Run. Supersprint teamed up with Beyond Blue, Hydrolyte and Brooks to put together this event. As this was a new event for Brisbane we weren't sure what to expect.
A few days ago our Neon packs arrived consisting of a tshirt, glowing wrist band and a race number.
Once these arrived the excitement really began to build and we started planning our glow-tastic outfits.
Lazy Girl Lisanne got right into the spirit of the night decking herself out in full glow-wear for the evening. She looked amazing.
We should have bought shares in glow sticks for the evening because they were everywhere! We all thought we looked pretty amazing though. The Beyond Blue - Party for a Reason tent was painting faces, but the line was quite long and we didn't have time before the race started. 
The 5km course started and finished at Southbank outside the performing arts centre where a stage with a DJ and dance party was set up.
The course was an easy walk/run through Southbank, to the Botanic Gardens and back again with various party zones scattered throughout the course. Lazy Girl A took every opportunity to show off her wicked dance skills at each of these zones.
Reaching the finish line was made even sweeter with the free Hydralyte ice-blocks given to all competitors. A perfect way to end the run.
Overall the Neon Run was a fun event. A great reason to get a group of friends together and have some fun. Definitely great for all levels of fitness too.
We will certainly be signing up again next year.
