The Color Run!

**Full Disclosure:  I received two registrations in exchange for this post.  No other compensation was received.  All opinions are my own.

My sister, Becca, and I have talked about doing a color run together for about a year.  The problem, though, is that she lives SIX hours away from me and we have to coordinate our insanely busy schedules to make things happen.  When I was given the opportunity to do The Color Run in Dallas, I jumped at it (after I made sure it wasn’t in the middle of summer)!

Now that Becca and I have put The Color Run in our calendars, Mom is talking about doing it with us as well!  I’ve done a color run before, so I KNOW how much fun they are!  I can’t to make {healthy} memories with Mom and Becca this fall!

If you can come up with a team of 4 or more, it is automatically $5 cheaper!  Combine that with the promo code below and you’ll save $10 on your registration fee!!  How does a “Color Team” work compared with a solo runner? Pretty simple, you register as a (4 minimum/infinity max) unit rather than as an individual.  You get to pick a groovy custom team name, anything from The Roy G Biv All-stars to We Sweat Rainbows.  You then get to run/walk together and “help” each other get really colored up over the 5 color kilometers.  There is no “relay” component and team members can finish together as a unit or separately.

About The Color Run:

The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community.

Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more colored powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!

With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow: Wear white at the starting line and finish plastered in color!

Last year, I bought my white shirt at Wal-Mart for about $5.  I was able to save the color in it by spritzing it with white vinegar and ironing it while it was still wet!
