would not get lost.

holes so runners do not get hurt.

 Campus safety at the event
 Actual event:
 Weather was nice enough to let us
hold the event.
 Staff members were along the
trails but were not there along the
entire way, and arrows were
written in chalk.
 We went along the trail prior to the
event and made sure the trail was
safe.

forms for the runners.

the event but they were not at our
actual event.

some participants that
came to our event and
asked the following
questions:
 How did you think the
event went? What was
your favorite part about
the event?
 Any suggestions that
could make this event
better?

12.  “Favorite part was the atmosphere with the music and everyone's
energy”
 “Also, the music made the event fun! Maybe next time have food:))”
 “A way to possibly make it better would be to incorporate t shirts or
something then people wouldn't have to worry about getting paint and
what not on clothes they didn’t want to get paint on. ”
 “The event was pretty fun. I liked being able to jam out and be with my
friends. My favorite part was obviously getting painted.”
 “I think this was a great, new, unique idea for an event on campus. The
neon theme was cool, and the run itself was a lot of fun.”
 “The two paint stations throughout the course were a little disappointing
because we were expecting to get splattered with paint, and that was
not the case.”
