I was wondering if anyone is going to the Color Run in Philly! None of my friends want to so I'm trying to do a kind-of MFP roll call. :)

OR could anyone tell me if it's still fun to go alone? Trying to find a buddy may not work out, but I still really want to go!

    I'm from the Valley Forge area, and have never heard of this. What is it? Any website to check it out?

    It's basically a 5k where you get blasted with colored powder! Google The Color Run and you will find tons of information on it... it looks really fun!

    I live in Philly and run a few times a week. That sounds really cool and I would like to sign up for this. I have been looking for more races. Thanks for sharing.

    Found additional information for the race at http://thecolorrun.com/philadelphia/

    I just posted this on Facebook the other day and tagged some friends so I'm 99% sure I'll be there. Just waiting to clear it through my weekend job and I'll register! :) So excited!

    Thanks for the info! I'm hoping to run my first 5k in the spring, so this definitely interests me if I make it through that one! Sounds like a lot of fun for a great cause!

    It's call "Color Me Rad" - and I'm doing the one in Virginia Beach on May 6th - I'm so excited, it looks so fun!

    We've got a big team together of people who are running - but I imagine it would be heaps of fun, even if you didn't have a team!
