ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — Light up the night and help raise money to fight cancer in the Relay for Life event Glow in the Park at The Wharf on Saturday, Jan. 31.

Columbia Southern University is the sponsor for the event, a non-competitive 5K “race” on The Wharf grounds which promises to provide much fun and frivolity. The main event will kick off at 5:45 p.m. and be a rollicking party until 9 p.m.

But get there early. Before the race, you and your friends will each get a goody bag of glow accessories and paint to adorn yourselves to the height of glowy fashion.

Throughout the course, there will be industrial machines spewing foam to the beat of some hot music.

Also along the way, volunteers will spray a rainbow of glow water as you run past in addition to a dust cloud of neon powder tossed by more volunteers to make sure you are covered in color and glowing like a champ.

Once you have triumphantly reached the finish line, you will be greeted by a celebratory dance party and a chance to show off your accumulation of glow and fabulous dance moves.

Registration fees start at $25 and will increase based on capacity until race day, when registration will be $45 if available. Children age 4 and younger do not need to register, but will not receive the race goodie bag.
