I see there's another thread just about the Color Run in general and people were discussing the Ann Arbor Color run.
I figured I would make a thread just for the one in GR on August 5th. :)

Today is the last day to reg for $40, goes up to $45 tomorrow thru June 1, and keeps going up from there.

I registered today and am doing it with a friend from school but would really like to maybe meet up with some other people that are doing it! I love meeting fellow MFPers! Feel free to add me! :)

    Guys don't worry, if it's anything like the one I did, even the serious runners don't run all of it lol....there was a LARGE amount of walkers, and EVERYONE got backed up at the color stations (my friends and I were intent on getting super colorful so we waited for the inside haha)

    The one in Ann Arbor was a blast! The above poster is right, it's a morning of fun and color so even the serious runners are not too serious lol:) Have fun!

    I think this looks so fun and SO wish I could do it. I am in GR, but I have such bad plantar faciitis that I can't be on my feet for too long or I can't walk for days. I am already recruiting people to join me for next year. I better be recovered by then. Have a great time!!!

    I did the GR color run and it was so much fun! My group walked it and everyone had a great time. I will do it again in the future, and maybe run it next time?

    Had a blast at the Grand Rapids Color Run... Will definately do it again next year. Didn't hear much about it in the news before hand however I am betting next year it will double in attendance.

    It was sold out, they cut it off at 10,000 entrants.

    I, too, had a blast and will be back next year!
