Last year I ran my first race with The Color Run, and it became one of my favorite 5Ks. The husband had never raced with me before or ever really so I dragged him along. Nothing says quality time like color everywhere!
Both the pre and post race activities are fun too. Everyone is buzzing with energy, clean, and anticipating the fun to be had. It is one of the few races I have ever been involved with where all the participants have great time. Post race includes more activities, more awesomeness, and of course more color.
Who says fitness as to be boring?
In 2015 The Color Run, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is back with the Shine Tour!
The Color Run celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality. Their races are fun for the whole family whether you are a marathon runner or someone who speed walks on the treadmill.
They are shining up the 5k course and finish festival too! Look for a unique Sparkle Zone and killer photo ops on the course. At the finish festival, get ready for confetti cannons, shimmering clouds of color, and more!
Here’s a look at all the Shine coming your way during The Color Run!
