Color Run!

This weekend I did my first color run! I have always wanted to do a color run but never had the guts to do it. It looked like so much fun and fun was an understatement! We got there super early and were able to take the front row at the starting line. I had never done that before and it was exhilarating! They ended up starting the race late. I am pretty sure they did that on purpose so we would all be pumped up by the time the race began! 

Tips When Running A Color Run!

1. Bring towels or trash bags to sit on in your car. 
You will get VERY messy. You do not want to worry about ruining your car. 

2. Arrive early. 
There are a lot of people involved in these races and they allow you to go in waves. You want to be in the first wave so you aren't waiting around forever! We arrived about an hour early. 

3. Be aware of hidden fees. 
When we arrived at the event they charged an additional $5 for parking. Then $5 for picking up packets the day of the race. Call ahead and ask if they charge for parking among other things so you are not surprised when you arrive! 

Here are a few pictures from the race!

One of my favorite things about the race was when were running the race they were spraying color on us. It made it so much more fun to have people cheering you on through out the race. I would definitely recommend running a color run at least once in your life! 

Until next time,
