The Color Run

Has anyone seen this or done one? www.thecolorrun.com  

CN: It is a 5k run that requires its runners to start in white. As they reach a "k" volunteers hit them with a color powder (totally non toxic) until the end.  It looks awesome.  

ETA: Trying and failing at making a clicky.

    Yes! I was seriously considering doing the one in KC, but I don't know if it's going to work out.

    I considered doing the Charlotte one with friends, but, we're not runners.  Sooooo by the time we got to the mile markers they'd probably be out of color. 

    It looks like a lot of fun though.

    Any- I hope it does work out for you!  I think I am going to try to do the Memphis run. It isn't until October, so a ton may change until then.

    I did the Atlanta Color Run a few weeks back notice the sig pic and it was a blast! I highly recommend it. I'm not really a "runner" but I jogged/walked it and it was great fun. I definitely plan to do it next year. Register early! The ATL one filled up so fast that they decided to do a second one the next weekend.

    I can do either.  As of April 30 I'll be around KC full time and unemployed (read: bored).

    [QUOTE]So are we talking KC or Ozarks?   I'm down with either.  I think I have one weekend in June that I'm definitely out (June 16 - Royals at the Cards game-woot!).  Other than that, I just have random hair/facial appts but that shouldn't prevent a gtg.   SEWF, you too!

    We do have a place.  We get the keys May 15th, so we'll be living with my parents first, but H starts his new job on the 30th, so we didn't really have a choice.  My work was less than pleased when my last day was moved 2 weeks forward, but I don't care.  They still had plenty of notice.

    Mostly. My shoes are still tinted pink and I have a slight tiedye effect on the back of my sports bra. Don't wear new clothes or ones that you're emotionally attached to. I also had a green streak in my hair about two days after.

    I'm doing the Color Run in Denver at the end of May. It looks like so much fun and I can't wait. Remember sign up fast, it sold out quickly here. I'm not a big runner, but I'm trying to work out more and be healthier. I figured it looked like a fun run to try.
