There, I added a U to make the Brits feel a bit better. Has anyone else signed up? I'm no runner, but this sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be going to the London run.

    I wish the one in London!! But instead I'm registered for the one here in Athens, Ga in August. It does look like fun and will me my first 5k.

    Not in the UK - but I'm participating in my local run here in Ypsilanti, Michigan in the US tomorrow. :happy:

    I'm not a runner either but it should be a blast to walk. Can't wait.

    I recently did the Color Run and it was so much fun! We pretty much walked the whole thing, but ran through the color parts because it was fun. :smile: In fact, the guy who was working the crowd before the race said if you finish first, you're not doing it right.

    Enjoy!

    It's a great time...we did the one in St. Louis 2 weekends ago. However, just a warning: cover your hair completely. It was raining the day we ran, and while I understood the color could stain when wet, it didn't occur to me that my blonde hair would be totally stained in blotches of color that had to be professionally removed!

    Details and pictures here:

    We did the Color Run in San Francisco - and are looking around to do some more! You are going to have so much fun! I'm no runner - but I can power walk pretty dang fast! If you can get a group together it i s even more enjoyable - we will definitely do it again and again....

    We super conditioned our hair before the race (left it n - my friend just rubbed theirs with coconut oil) and not a trace of color after we washed it! We did bring towels and a change of clothes for the truck -and then treated our dyed shirts n such before wasing - and now wear them proudly!

    WOW that looks like such a great laugh. Unfortunetly I can not make either of the venues, but I'd have loved to have done it.

    Yes!

    I've signed up for the London event and I started C25k this week with no previous running experience.

    I can't wait, but I'm certainly concerned about the weather!

    At least I have dark hair!

    Hope everyone who ran yesterday in London had a good time. I sure did! I even ended up taking the kids along (6 and nearly 4) and with the help of some friends to keep them distracted, they enjoyed it too!

    Looks brilliant, but it only really covers one of the four countries in the UK! I'm just off to squirt paint on myself then run around my garden...

    That looks brilliant!! If I'd have known about it previously I would have done it with my kids in Manchester but we have plans for next weekend :(
