The Color Run is also known as the happiest 5K on the entire planet. That is pretty exciting!
It is a 5K run where you get covered in colored powder at each kilometer. The Color Run has two "rules:"
1. Wear white at the starting line.
2. Finish plastered in color.
Another thing I already love about the Color Run is the charity connection. Even though the Color Run is a for-profit organization, it has an emphasis on charity. In each city, The Color Run partners with a charity. The partnerships happen in different capacities, but it is great knowing that you run for a cause! It just makes running that much better!
Nervous about being covered in color? Don't be, none of these people look worried. They are all ecstatic to be running covered in color!! I can't wait to try this!
This event isn't only for runners. According to the Color Run FAQ, "you can run, walk, crawl, or cartwheel if you wish." So there is no excuse not to enter this giveaway and do the Color Run!
What are you waiting for? Enter the giveaway!!! You will receive one Color Run entry to the city of your choice!

Love the Color run! So much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to try it!
DeleteMy favorite color is blue.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend covering everything in towels or sheets to go home. You could even walk, run, or bike to/from the run.
I have not done a The Color Run.....yet.
Sounds good. I will bring lots of old towels.
DeleteI had a great time when I did the color run! Don't forget sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteMy favorite color is green. I've not participated in a Color Run but would love to run it with my daughter. Her favorite color is purple.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so much fun!
DeleteI have never done a Color Run but keep hearing what a blast they are! Would love to do the St. Louis one in September! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Good luck.
DeleteThat sounds like a fun race!
ReplyDeleteThat is what I have heard from everyone who has done it!
DeleteThat's an awesome Giveaway! I had a great time at the first ever UK Color Run in London. I loved it so much i wrote a 3 part blog on it Part 1 = http://wp.me/p3GXVb-v and I even signed up to volunteer the next event in Brighton. Sunglasses are a must and try not to talk in the Color marker areas the powder doesn't taste very nice!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of the not talking, that is a helpful tip!
DeleteThis looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI've really wanted to try the Color Run. I hear it is fun. I am concerned about inhaling the powder though... gulp! But, it's worth the risk, at least once!

I heard a tip from another commenter: don't smile/ talk/ open your mouth in the color release areas.
DeleteA good friend of mine did a Color Run earlier this year and she said it was something to definitely try and enjoyed it. One thing she mentioned was to give yourself some physical space at the beginning and kind of watch yourself, because another runner next to her somehow threw her powder right into my friends face and she wasn't expecting it. Once the gun went off though, she said it was a real blast and going to grab a drink afterwards it was really entertaining seeing the other patrons at the bar wonder what had just happened :)
ReplyDeleteIt is also very cool that they always link up with a charity wherever they put it on and it is definitely a race I would like to try!
Thanks for putting on this giveaway and letting us put our name in the hat.
I am putting on a giveaway for the next two weeks as well (for a unique and vegan friendly protein powder) http://www.mavrocatstrength.com/2013/07/30/humapro-protein-powder-giveaway/
and I know how awesome it is to be able to be a part of allowing your readers to try something great and new for free!
Thanks for the opportunity and I found your blog through the Friday Linkup and am looking forward to checking it out further!
