The Color Run

I know, I know. I have been seriously neglecting my blogging duties the past few days. I have a good reason, I swear. I just can't tell you about it.......yet. But it has kept me quite busy the last few evenings and robbed me of precious sleep. All I can say is, it's worth it, and I'll hopefully let you in on the secret tomorrow.

I did want to put up a quick post about the 'happiest 5k' I have ever participated in: The Color Run! If you've never heard of this color-wonderful event, you really should look into it and sign up if it ever comes to your area.

Team "Chase the Rainbow" headed downtown bright and early Sunday morning and got to LP Field just as they were getting ready to start the waves. 

Clean and white before the race!

 



We ended up in wave #9 and got to the start line around 9:15ish. The course started just outside LP Field, went over the pedestrian bridge, down Printer's Alley, across the Cumberland River, and back to LP Field. At each kilometer we were doused with a new color of powder.

Kilometer 1: Yellow! Kendra and I just had to stop for a quick photo :)

The race ended back outside of LP Field. Every ten minutes, they did a big color toss using the packets of powder we had received in our race packets. Runners gathered around the stage and 3....2...1.....

 

Color!!!

This race was a blast! We had so much fun out there and literally laughed from 0 to 3.1! We're already looking at fun options for next year. Foam anyone??
