Neon Invasion Fun Run 2013 is an electrifying 5k race for people who enjoy gathering with friends, running, walking, jogging, and run in the night illuminated with neon lights.
This is the first ever Neon Fun Run in The Philippines! This event is less about speed and more about enjoying a night of neon lights and neon glow body paint under LED and black lights with friends and family (THIS IS NOT A RAVE).

Each course is designed to light up the night with several UV black light glow-zones, upbeat dance music of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and current top hits and amped runners who are dressed up and ready to party.

Although it is a 5k run and everybody can run as hard as they’d like, most just want to light-it-up, have a good time, and dance their way to the finish. The fun doesn’t end there because the after run celebration near the finish line is the best part of the Neon fun run – New Wave Party for a Cause.
