LeukemiaTexas
named the official beneficiary of The Electric Run
Inaugural 5K
set for Saturday January 19, 2013
DALLAS, Texas
- GET READY DALLAS! The Electric Run is coming to Dallas
this week and it's going to be much more than a 5K run. It
truly is a show! Imagine Fair Park glowing and buzzing to
one million watts of light and sound, which will turn the
course into an electric wonderland. This isn't an amateur
production. Stage designers from Coachella, Dreamworks
animators and talented artists are behind developing this
experience.
Dan Hill, founder
of the Electric Run says, "We want to do more than produce
another running event. We want to create a show and an
experience that will take people's breath away.".
Participants will join in the show by lighting up with glow
sticks. Teams called centipedes can participate in the event
by given a LED-light rope that will be used to attach
themselves to the other members of the centipede. In
addition, every participant will be given an LED bracelet,
glow necklace, glow sunglasses and an event shirt. It is
important to note that the fun and the beats don't end at
the finish line. There will be a finish celebration with DJs
to keep you moving. This is family-friendly event for all
ages with kids under seven getting to run for free.
LeukemiaTexas is
excited to participate as The Electric Run™ 1st
beneficiary for Dallas. With partners like the Dallas
Mavericks and our friends at The FairPark, we know it will
be the city's most memorable run because of the electricity,
courage, and strength of our leukemia patients we serve.
Mandy O'Neill, CEO for LeukemiaTexas.
Volunteer spots
are still available for the event. Contact the LeukemiaTexas
office today to get involved.
