Glo Run participants taking off from the starting line

Dozens of Radford University students dashed across the start line late Monday during the Midnight Glo Run.

The 5K-style event took runners twice around the perimeter of campus. Many of the night owls donned glowing headbands, necklaces and bracelets.

The race was part of the university's BE S.E.E.N. (Be Successful Through Engagement and Education) initiative, which features six weeks of events intended to engage students in campus happenings, such as sports and student organizations.

This week's theme is Wellness, Recreation and Sports. Next week's focus is Service and Sustainability.

Fifty-seven participants registered for the run along with 23 student workers and three volunteers.

Afterward, students enjoyed a midnight snack at the Hurlburt Student Center.
