COLOR RUN

SO much fun! my DH and I walked it last year too. We are planning on going again this year with the kids. Fun atmosphere! Completely agree with previous poster. Have fun!

I am doing one this weekend too . I am so excited but not sure what to expect. I will be walking too:)

I did one last summer it was amazing. There were a lot of people who were walking so don't feel like you will be the only one.

Advice:

As someone stated before, clothing that you don't really care about- some of the dye does stain
Bring towels, trash bags, some bottled water- trash bags to cover the seats in your car, towels and water to try and get the color off. I didn't have any of this when I went and payed for it, lol.
The color stations, hold your breath while walking through as inhaling the dust isn't fantastic.
HAVE FUN!!! It's an amazing experience! Also, make sure to have your color pouch with you at the end for the color toss- that is awesome as well!

i have done it twice. its alot of fun. i walked it too. my advice would be spray your entire body NAKED with sunscreen before the run because it makes it easier to get all the color off. even under 4 layers i have gotten so much color on my skin haha. close your mouth in the color zones & possibly try to hold your breath when they go to throw it on you. other people complain about it being hard to breathe etc.. but i havent had problems. also u could stay in the middle of the zone for LESS color.. but where is the fun in that? or u could wear a bandana to pull over your mouth before a zone. my friend literally had it in her mouth cuz shes crazy and it doesnt taste very good haha. have tons of fun! seriously tho try out the sunscreen. saves you tons of scrubbing time. first time i didnt use sunscreen. second time i sprayed after i got dressed so my stomach was Blue & Purple for about a week or two lol. but my arms came clean. dont forget under your arms lol.

THANKS OP I was wondering the same thing!! I am doing the Neon Splash Dash this weekend & it will be my first ever 5K!

I'm sure I'll walk more than run but that is one reason I picked this as my first one because the atmosphere seems like it will be more relaxed!!

I am still waiting for them to announce the actual date and location of the "New England" Color Run this coming July. I fear I am going to miss it as it will interfere with one of my other races.

This makes me so excited for August when I'm going to be doing it in Buffalo. I will definitely be considering all of you folks' suggestions.

I wanted to do one in May, but I wasn't very keen on paying $45 for it. It would be different if the money was going to a cause of some kind, but it was just going to the community that the run was being held and I don't even live there.

I did my first one this past weekend. Don't chew jump lol! I did and the chalk got in my gum and turned my mouth colors My feet are still stained. So make sure you don't mind the color. If you bring your phone or camera, wrap it in a ziplock baggie otherwise the chalk is so fine that it will mess it up. Have fun! I timed myself I did it in 35 mins! I was so proud since I had been using couch to 3k to train for it. Pics will be in my profile of what the color will do to your face in about 5 mins feel free to check them out

Look at my picture! I did the color me Rad run in Raleigh last year! So much fun! The color is a little tough to get off, but use a scrubby and you will fine.
I was in Winston-Salem last weekend for an opera, and I found out too late that they were having a color run there also. If I had known earlier, I definitely would have done it. They are so much fun!!!
