The Green Neon Run 2016

Introduction

If you enjoy Pokemon Go and are passionate about the environment, this is the event for you. THE GREEN NEON RUN is an event that combines a fun night run with a neon theme and Pokemon Go gameplay to create a brand new experience for both Pokemon trainers and fitness enthusiasts everywhere.

This fun and exciting event is created to highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle amongst us. Pokemon Go is known to be an app that revolutionized the gaming world, breaking records worldwide and encouraging people from all countries to be more active through walking and exploring their cities in search of virtual creatures called Pokemon. Through this event, we hope to fuse the addictive gameplay of Pokemon Go with a burning desire for outdoor activities to raise awareness about something we are truly passionate about: the environment.

This event supports our efforts to protect the Earth and to create a greater awareness of the environmental issues happening today. This means it’s time to unleash your FUN, ACTIVE and ECO-FRIENDLY side for a good cause!

THE GREEN NEON RUN will be held on November 20, 2016 (Sunday) and will feature a 3km Family Run (for families with at least one child between the ages of 4 to 12 years old) and a 6km Fun Run (for individuals or groups above the age of 12). Family Run aims to help parents educate their children on important environmental issues while also fostering a closer bond between parents and children. Fun Run offers participants a healthy challenge, an enhanced sense of camaraderie and a greater passion for outdoor activities. Help us raise awareness by participating in THE GREEN NEON RUN this year!

*Note- No dogs will be allowed to run. No bottled water will be provided for environmental reasons. Please bring your own drinking water for the race.
