So I’ve said many times before: I am not a huge fan of running. I like to do it in small doses, but most of the time I just end up bored. However, lately I have been wanting to sign up for a race after seeing so many of my blog friends doing them so often (I’m mean mugging you right now Meghan) So when looking for a race I wanted one that was going to be fun and keep my attention, after hearing many people’s awesome reviews of The Color Run, I knew that was the one for me! The closest race to me was in Atlanta on September 28 and I am SO excited that Sara is going to run it with me!!
I mean tell me this does not sound like so much fun…
“The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community. Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more colored powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!”
Sign me up!
And I think you guys should run it with me! Now obviously if you don’t live near me than that is not possible, but The Color Run is all over! So make sure you check for the location closest to you HERE and use the promo code: COLOR5OFF to get $5.00 off of the entry fee! Also when you register with a team of 4 or more it is automatically $5 cheaper. You can then also use the promo code on top of that and save $10.00 total! How does a “Color Team” work compared with a solo runner? Pretty simple, you register as a (4 minimum/infinity max) unit rather than as an individual. You get to pick a custom team name, and get to run/walk together and “help” each other get really colored up over the 5 color kilometers.
Thought on running? Have you participated in The Color Run before? Would you like to?
