Along the route are checkpoints including "Kaskade's Korner" and the "Flicker Forest," culminating in the "Ultimate After-party" at the finish line with DJs and live performances.

The events are slated to be family friendly (face-painting!), with kids aged 8 and under allowed in for free. In each city the event will partner with a local charity "in an effort to bring awareness and donations to these great causes."

"It's interesting when worlds collide," Kaskade said of the tour, which kicks off in Denver on May 9 (via Tumblr). "Finding a way to combine two things that are both important to me, but more than that - actually FUN - is a treat. So when I had the opportunity to partner up with some friends and create The Spark Run, I was all in. Running? Check. Music? Check. No brainer."
