If you follow this blog, or remember back to this post, I enjoy running (especially with Glass). The Electric Run is one of those “fun runs” I mentioned. Basically, it’s a 5K run (not race–it’s not timed) which involves music, lights, and an “electric wonderland”. Taken from their website:
I took my Glass with me to the Electric Run, which was held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday night. The race started at 8:50, but with 20,000 people the race continued to release waves until after 10:00. There were crazy costumes, amazing decorations and music, as well as a huge concert at the end. Glow sticks were everywhere.
- Yes, those are Christmas lights. No, I don’t know where they were getting power from.
- Neon, Neon everywhere.
- Glass really did take amazing pictures last night.

During the race, I was asked about Glass several times (which made me happy). One person called them “Google Goggles” and two other people told me they were super jealous. I did use my cell phone to snap some pics, but using Glass was a ton easier, and I took way more video on my Glass than my phone. One question I got asked about Glass last night was how it performed taking pictures and videos in the dark. So, in the following video I included both iPhone and Glass clips. The iPhone videos are labeled as such, so that users can compare.
