Glow Run Lights Up JBU Campus

Lace up, light up, and get ready to glow.

John Brown University’s annual Glow Run returns this fall, transforming the campus into a neon-lit spectacle that’s equal parts fitness challenge and community celebration.

Put on your running shoes (and maybe something neon) for this after-dark 5K, hosted by JBU Advancement. The race starts at dusk and winds through the tree-lined Siloam Springs campus, welcoming both seasoned runners and anyone just in it for the fun. Don’t miss this two-hour celebration where the only requirement is showing up ready to shine.

You’ll light up the course with glow sticks, neon gear, and whatever creative accessories you can dream up, transforming JBU’s wooded paths and open green spaces into a glowing spectacle. The route mixes gentle slopes with flat stretches, so all paces are welcome.

Bring the kids, rally your crew, or show up solo and join the pack. This is more than a 5K but a chance to support JBU Advancement’s work funding student scholarships and campus programs. And here’s the best part: looking bright matters way more than running fast. So grab your neon shoelaces and get ready for a memorable evening where fitness meets fun.
