Neon Glows Color Run returns to benefit CT Hurricanes Drum and Bugle Corps

June event will be virtual this year

After taking a year off in 2020, Neon Glows will be held in June 2021. 

To ensure the safety of participants and volunteers it will be a virtual race this year. 

This means you can have all of the same fun and excitement at a time and place of your choosing. We encourage you to sign up with friends and family that you can participate with!
After you complete your run/walk you will be able to submit your time on this website. 

 Participants can submit a 'run anywhere' time or a 'Derby 5k' time if you want it recorded that you ran the actual race course on the Derby Greenway.
Be sure to take lots of pictures and share the fun on our Facebook page at facebook.com/NeonGlowsColorRun.

Every participant will receive a race kit containing the race T-shirt and three color packets that you can use at the beginning, middle and end of your run or walk. 

 You can even have some fun in the backyard with the family. The color powder is safe and environmentally friendly, so it can be used anywhere. It will wash away with the next rain.

Race kits will be shipped on June 1. 

There will be a $5 shipping fee or you can select local pickup. 

Local pickup will be on June 5 and June 12 from 11 a.m.-noon at Matthies Field, 115 Silvermine Road, Seymour.

Proceeds to benefit the CT Hurricanes Drum and Bugle Corps.
