Risk Management Before event:

Back up date in case the weather did not allow us to have this event.

Staff members along the trail along with arrows so runners would not get lost.

Make sure the trail is safe with no holes so runners do not get hurt.

Waiver forms for the runners 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.

We ended up not needing waiver forms for the runners.

We made campus safety aware of the event but they were not at our actual event.

Operations Before event:

Glow sticks, glow paint, water, trash bags

Purchasing plan was from Meijer if we got the grant, and Wal-Mart if we did not get the grant.

Easy route for the participants

Actual event: Glow sticks, glow paint,

tarps Purchases were made

through amazon Easy route for the

participants

Evaluation Before event:

Surveys of the participants

Evaluation between members

Actual event: We ended up emailing

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?

Quotes “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.”

What would we do differently?

GET MORE PAINT! Group of runners Anticipate the run more Start later than 9:05 Provide t-shirts Water or food at the end
