Hey everyone!
Someone gave me an idea to post this here, so, there is a 5k run called "Color Me Rad". I have always wanted to do one of these and I just recently found out one is coming to Toronto! Now my only problem is I want someone(or a group) to do this with. Here's the link: http://www.colormerad.com/
There is lots of awesome pictures and a video so go check it out :)

    I did it last year in May and I am doing it again this upcoming weekend. It is a lot of fun! I suggest going with at least one person to share the excitement.

    I'm so excited I just have to find someone to go with! None of my friends want to :sad:

    I did this last year and I didn't think it was great. You had to stop running to get colour, or plow through people to get through the colour stations.

    However, I still had fun. I just wouldn't do it again.

    :drinker: I did the one in Oklahoma City last year, and I am doing it again next Month. It is not for "Serious" Runners, but if you are out just to have Fun, or if it is one of your First 5Ks it is AWESOME! Since it is not Timed, I went through the Purple Station twice because I wanted Extra Purple Color on me. As it turned out I got more GREEN than anything.:tongue:
    :heart: This year I am doing it with my Sister -- Her First 5K!!

    I've done CMR. I liked it :) It's a fun run, no prizes or anything, just the joy of the experience of getting covered in corn starch and food dye. I do recommend enlisting a friend, though; it's a lot more fun when you have a buddy.

    That's a bit upsetting to hear! Oh well I still want to at least try it

    I ran Color Me Rad for my first ever 5K run. It's great cause it's all about having fun, not about who can run the fastest! Good luck!

    :flowerforyou: The whole purpose of the 'Race' is to have FUN!! Be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting stained. My UNDERWEAR is still Rad Colored, thank you very much, LOL!! Take Towels or a sheet to protect your Car Seat on the way home. Most people advise to keep your mouth closed as you go through the Color Stations. Please keep us informed!! I want to hear all about your Race!!
