    I did the Color Run in Little Rock, AR a about three weeks ago. Lots of fun, but I would suggest wearing something over your mouth to keep from getting that gritty stuff in your teeth! :)

    i did one this summer in VA. it is a LOT of fun (fyi they do not time the race so if you want to know you're time you'll have to do it yourself). keep your mouth shut as much as you can - i was spitting blue and pink through have the race. LOL! oh and it does get EVERYWHERE! it does seep through your clothes. it took a few days to get out of my hair too.

    I'm doing one in Seattle in May! So excited. I wanna run the whole thing. I'm doing a Jingle Bell Run 5k tomorrow where I'll walk and run. Practice for May's color run. Thanks for the tip about stuff getting in your mouth. I guess I'll be wearing a surgical-type mask maybe decorate it somehow. You know, something that goes ncely with the tutu I plan to wear over my running shorts.

    DId one last year....don't believe the 'it comes off easily" story about the color. It was hot & sweaty and I had green and purple spots on my torso after like 3 showers! I wouldn't do it again, but a lot of people loved it!

    There does tend to be a slowdown/backup at the 'color stations' ...so if you're a competitive runner concerned about your run time, this might be annoying (I'm not..so it wasn't a big issue for me, but some friends were frustrated aboout that)

    I'd love to do a 5k by my next birthday and the 2013 Color Run is the weekend following. Hot damn!

    I did it with my girls at the beginning of the year. Really fun, but not sure I'd do it again(entry cost is expensive for what you get). My running shoes are colored to this day(I just retired them, though). And the color didn't totally come out of anything. Fun to do once, more fun to do with a group of people. Bring a camera, goggles or glasses, a handkerchief if you have breathing issues and have fun!
    Pics of it are actually in my profile if interested.

    Haven't signed up yet (putting together a team with a couple of friends so we're on the lookout for at least one more person before we register), but I'm planning on doing the Orange County one next May. Excited as it seems like lots of fun and it will be my first 5k. :)

    I did The Color Run in San Diego last October and something called the Color Mob on December 8. The Color Run was more organized and Both were fun. They're not timed and both started in waves. Like a Mud Run your clothes may never be the same after....looking forward to the Orange County Color Run in May!
