I have always wanted to do a “Color Run.” There is just something super intriguing about walking/running a 5k while being sprayed with color. I have seen pictures on Facebook and on other bloggers pages and it looks like a blast! You start looking like this:

You can imagine how excited I was when I found out that there is a run, Color Me Rad, coming to Atlanta in just two weeks!

If you have never heard of a color run, check out this video to see what it is all about:

Doesn’t it look like fun?!?

I immediately thought of completing it with my nieces (they LOVE stuff like that) so I called them up. One is out of town but the other will be here and was thrilled when I told her about it. So, we are super excited to do the Color Me Rad 5k on July 13.

You don’t have to be in super shape to do the run and it is for all ages. Bring the whole family! It isn’t timed and there are walkers and runners. The whole point is to just have fun!

Here is some information straight off their website:

When Zoloft and balloon animals can’t seem to raise your spirits, the best way to brighten your life is to run Color Me Rad 5K. Historically, running has only been acceptable when trying to escape the law, personal responsibility, the truth, and grizzly bears. Instead of running FROM something, get ready to run FOR something at this year’s Color Me Rad. Run for the Hell of it.

Color Me Rad is coming to a town near you with a tsunami of color that’ll make colored tears of joy run down your cheeks and will renew your will to live.

After 5K of color bombardment, we guarantee your outlook will be brighter, your boyfriend will be more affectionate, your girlfriend will be less needy, the hair on your head will grow back and the hair on your back will fall out, your black and white TV will turn into 720p HD (I know you were hoping for 1080, but we organize races, we’re not miracle workers), and your gray outlook will turn green like a spring morning.

You’ll start off with a shirt as pure and white as your grandpa’s dentures and you’ll soak up enough color while running to change your skin tone forever. You’ll wind up looking like a pack of skittles – just make sure not to “taste the rainbow.”

So cast your DYE and get red in the face from Color Me Rad, and not from the embarrassment of passing up on the run of a lifetime.

How it works:

Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you’ll coat your chaffing thighs with Color Bombs of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side.

Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.

What is the “color” in Color Me Rad?

You’re probably asking yourselves, “Is this really color being thrown at us or are the rainbows we’re seeing just God’s signal that it’ll never flood again?”

Well I’m glad you asked. This isn’t just smoke and mirrors. This is non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, Kroger branded, colored corn-starch. Subsidized by the government and processed in the good ol’ US of A, these blasts of starch will change your color, and your demeanor, but never your level of wellness.

So, now that you are pumped to do the Color Me Rad run, go HERE to see when they are coming to your area and sign up!

Now, if you just so happen to be lucky enough to live in the Atlanta area, I have GREAT news for you! You can run/walk it with ME!! I am going to be participating with my niece and I would love to see some of your smiling faces there and get a group picture.

Guess what Atlanta peeps…I have even better news for you…Wait for it….wait for it…
