The Color Run



On Sunday my sister and I participated in The Color Run. It is a 5K race that as you go through you get colored by volunteers throwing colored powder at you. It was so much fun, and although it is a "race" there is no timing or race results. First or last it doesn't matter, this one is all about fun!

The race started at 9:00 am at minute maid park. we were running behind so we made it to the start right before 9. It wasn't a big deal because we planned on walking the whole thing, and because you could start up until 9:45 am.

The first color we came across is BLUE... here is a far away shot we were so excited as we approached the color zone.


 The next color was ORANGE! Here's an awesome pic of me totally colored in orange...
Then it was time for my favorite color PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were starting to run out of color by the time we got there, so there wasn't much pink being thrown :(

Finally it was time for some YELLOW... Check out my sister fully covered in yellow. By this time the yellow volunteers were sweeping the yellow up into shovels so they could use it again. We found a volunteer with a shovel full of yellow and said come on throw it at us! AND HE DID!!!!!!!!!!
That was the last color during the race, but at the end you had your own packets of color to further decorate yourself and other runners :) So by the time we were done with our packets this is what we looked like...
The most amazing part of this race was that all color came out of our hair and off our skin! we thought we'd look like rainbows for a couple of days.

So look up the color run and see if there is one in your area, because it was the most fun EVER!
