Was it a hard race? No! Was it a serious race? No! Was it a fun race? TOTALLY!
There were points on the race that my sister, her fiance, my friend, and I thought it was kind of lame (we thought/wished there were more stations to have corn starch thrown at you), but we made it fun as it went on. We opted to wear white so the colors really showed...obviously we went with white tutus to help pull the look together. ha ha They also give you "RAD" tattoos and neon framed glasses....You really need them with all the dust in the air...and to help you look rad! (wear old sneakers you don't mind trashing)
As you ran there were stations along the course where people threw colored cornstarch at you. Sure they throw it at us and we got some color, but we took the cornstarch up a notch too....we rolled on the ground in colored cornstarch and we grabbed handfuls of colored cornstarch from the boxes the volunteers had to throw at the runners...I don't know if they loved us doing it, but it made the run so much more fun to have cornstarch fights. We got an amazing ab workout from laughing so hard. At the end of the run they give you a "color bomb" (bag of colored corn starch) to get yourself that much more colorful before going home ha ha.
We realized we were beyond gross and didn't want to get our own places messed up so we went to my parents' to jump in the pool to "clean off." It took several hours in the pool and a shower with lots of scrubbing to get to the point where we didn't look like we had been beaten or or had some freak disease all over our bodies ha ha
When we got to my parents' my mom was LOVING our stories about the run and decided she wants to do it next year! (We actually now have a huge group or family members who want to do it next year!) I'm so excited she and other family members want to do it! It's fun runs like this series that get people who wouldn't normally run a 5K into running a 5K. My mom ran her 1st 5K at 67 and swore she wouldn't run another....here she is today saying she's in to run a Color Me Rad 5K next year! If you've never run a 5K try out a Color Me Rad 5K to get your started...not all 5Ks will be this much fun, but this might be the "race" you need to get started on your running career!
You can't tell me you don't want to look like this after a 5K! :)
