Illumi Run
Time to paint the town... and yourself.
Overview
Light up the night with a party on the run. After successful events in Hong Kong, Singapore and the Gold Coast, Illumi Run is on its way to Melbourne. Come nightfall on Saturday, February 27, revellers will run, walk and dance their way along a 5-kilometre racecourse while being splattered with neon paint. And just when you thought you'd never run a marathon.
The (strictly non-competitive) race will be held in Yarra Park by the MCG. Participants will be given a T-shirt, protective LED goggles, an LED foam stick and a swag bag full of goodies. Once you've crossed the finish line, you can make your way to the Illumi afterparty, featuring DJs, dancers and canons capable of firing more than 50 litres of paint at a time. There'll also be food and beverage on offer, to help you refuel and rehydrate after your workout.
