Disco Run 5K and 10K at Fair Park

DALLAS - April 26, 2013 - PRLog -- A disco inferno is lighting up in Fair Park on Sunday, May 19, 2013, as the inaugural DISCO 5K and 10K RUN kicks off, bringing disco fever to Funkytown! This inaugural event – soon to be an annual tradition of grooviness – will feature a $100 BEST DISCO COSTUME AWARD for both men and women runners. Platform shoes, crazy wigs, retro coolness and more are all encouraged at this event.  The DISCO RUN, produced by Dallas Athletes Racing, benefits Nobody’s Normal, a non-profit whose mission is to ease the isolation, ignorance, and discrimination that compound the suffering of individuals with mental disorders.

“I Will Survive” is the mantra as participants run the pleasantly flat 5K or 10K lengths at Fair Park with frequent well-stocked, DJ-manned Disco Aid stations.  For those who are ”Stayin’ Alive” to the finish, they will receive a brand-new tie-dyed T-shirt and giant disco medallion at the post-race party that will feature fun disco music, hot pancakes and more.  

The event will benefit the recently launched Nobody’s Normal non-profit. The organization is taking action on three important fronts: to assemble a caring community for those with mental health issues and their families; to locate resources that can help empower individuals; and to build an activist movement to raise public awareness about mental illness through media campaigns and special events.
