The Color Run: Join us for the Happiest 5k on the Planet! {promo code for select cities}

What do you want to achieve this year? I am not talking about New Years Resolutions, because by the time February1st comes around many feel defeated. Is there something you want to do?

I want to…

  • continue to live a healthy lifestyle
  • participate in a 5k
  • surround myself with positive energy
  • encourage healthy living to friends & family
I am 30 years old. I always told myself I would run a 5k before I turned 31. However, I was injured in a car wreck last year that is interfering with the original plan. So I made a new one! I am going to walk my first 5k with my friends and family this year during The Color Run. Next year I hope to run it, but for now I am putting one foot in front of the other so to speak!
Join us at one of the many nationwide events

What is The Color Run™? The Color Run™ 5k is a unique experience focused less on speed and more on crazy color fun with friends and family. Color runners come from all different ages, shapes, sizes, and speeds; but everyone toeing the start line has a blast. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of The Color Run™ course will be the most memorable and colorful run of your life!
How does it work? The Color Run™ event pretty much has TWO SIMPLE rules: 1)  White shirts (any mostly white T will work great) mandatory at the start line.  And 2) color plastered EVERYTHING at the finish!  Runner/walkers begin the 5k at the start line like a brand new pristine coloring book. By the end, they look like they fell into a Willy Wonka… tie dyed… vat of colored goodness. We are the creators of an all new paint race phenomenon!

What is the Color? Each kilometer of the event is associated with a designated color: yellow, orange, pink, or blue.  As the runners/walkers reach the Kilometer COLOR Zones, they are blitzed by our volunteers, sponsors, and staff with COLOR.   All products are 100% natural and safe.  You can eat the stuff if you’d like (we have tried it and don’t suggest it, it is surprisingly high in calories and leaves a chalky aftertaste).  See the diagram below for the COLOR ZONE specifics.  Of course, we save the best for last, ending the race with a color extravaganza of epic proportions.

    I would love the chance to run in one of the color runs! Maybe after my baby is born this Summer I can start training and hit a few fun ones next year. :) Thanks for sharing.
