Have any of you participated in The Color Run? What are your thoughts on it? I just ran across it and thought it looked like a lot of fun...

    The Color Run was my very first 5K and it was a blast :)
    I guess it holds a special place in my heart since it was my first....

    I want to do the one here in June but not sure if we'll be able to afford it. But I think it looks awesome and even wanted to do it last year but it sells out really fast and I was too late. So, if you decide to do it, buy your ticket fast! :flowerforyou:

    Exactly this. It was my first and it was so fun! It's a fun and laid back run and a giant party at the end.

    I did it last summer and LOVED it. It's not timed so it's all for fun. It's a great first 5k because it's all about having fun. Let me put it this way, you'll regret it if you don't do it. =) The stuff does stain your hair though, so I would suggest wearing a bandana or something on your forehead / hair.

    It was also my first 5K and it was so much fun. For a first timer, it was great beause it isn't about having the best finish time but rather having fun.

    If you miss the Color Run, you can also check out Color Me Rad. Same concept. :smile:

    I and a couple of my friends are considering this as well. They have done more research on it than me but we all think it sounds like a lot of fun

    This is my first time to hear about this. I just looked it up though, and oh my gosh it looks so fun! Makes me wish I had the money-- and transportation-- to do this!

    I participated in one last summer. It was a lot of fun. The only downside was that I wasn't really able to run due to how crowded it was. I would definitely do it again and just plan to walk instead.

    I did it in Boston last year. It was AMAZING!!! I walked all buy the last 1/2 mile, but I still did it and that's what counts for me. But this year, I WILL run it!! :)

    It looked like tons of fun but a little spendy for such a short run.
