Is anyone else doing the Chicago color run on 10/14? I just signed up this morning, the only time slot available is 8am.

    I thought about but it looks like it's not timed, and I really like the racing aspect of 5Ks - going out to run just to get messy and not to get timed I guess isn't really my style *lol*

    What is a color run? I see them mentioned on here quite often, is it a US thing?

    It is primarily in the US but there is also a tour in Australia.

    thanks Karen, good luck to you too. :happy:

    @hbarnstein, yeah they seem to encourage fun and participation but i will wear my HRM and time myself. I am there to have fun but i am also trying to up my 5k races to improve my time and since I am just getting back into it and not even close to winning them I am ok timing my self at some of these. :smile:
