It's well-known how much music boosts your workout routine, but we bet no one ever considered having live music streamed through a powerful sound system rather than a pair of earphones. Yet that's what happens with the Night Nation Run, the world's first running festival where participants can run through an illuminated race course while DJs provide musical encouragement… although dancing is allowed too. The race track is lit by interactive lights, and features multiple party stops where runners can check out laser shows, take a picture by the selfie station, and enter in a chance to win a prize from the Glow Gear giveaway. Reach the finish line where a surprise headliner awaits to get the real party started.
