COLOR ME RAD

5K

FAMILY TIES

I heard that my cousins and their kids were doing this 5K race at the campus of

Utah Valley University.

As you run you slowly turn into a rainbow of color!

I thought it sounded so fun so I asked them if I could join their team.

We met up with each other the evening before the race and picked up our Pre-Game Packets.

Which consisted of a T-shirt, Sunglasses and a color packet!

We were all excited to experience this event!

We all met bright and early at the campus wearing PURE WHITE!!!

 Here are my cousins.  Stephanie, Mandie, Me and Chris!

Wearing our AWESOME...RAD...SUNGLASSES

They gave us

Here is the group of us getting ready to run!

We were all so excited! 

It was so much fun to just be there and experience all the excitement!

It was a PARTY!

COLOR ME RAD knows how to have fun!

Here were are at the finish line!!

So how the race works is you start out at the starting line.  As you run you reach different

COLOR STATIONS.  This is where rows of people bomb you with color powder and hose you down with color spray!  We weren't expecting the spray but that is what made the race.

There were 5 color station and each station was a different color. The people bombing you with color were called

COLOR BOMBERS!!!

You can see the people in the background that are in yellow...

THOSE ARE THE BOMBERS!!!

So as you progress through these stations you get more and more colorful!!!

 We took a picture with one of the bombers.  Then right after this picture he went crazy and tags us all... he had the black paint.  Out least favorite one!

Here we are in all the Colors of the rainbow!!

We were so grateful for those AWESOME...RAD sunglasses.  They saved our eyes but at the end of the day we couldn't even see out of them.

Here was one of the best part of the day.  Every 10 minutes after you cross the finish line people gather together and they have a countdown.  Then all at one everyone throws their color packets up in the air or at each other.

We did that three times!!!

Getting ready to head home and figure out how I am going to make it home without totally destroying the car.

Oh you should of see some of the looks I got from people on the freeway!

It was a great time by all...

We are totally going to make it an annual tradition.

So if you want to join in on the fun and see what it is like to REALLY taste the color of the rainbow...

join us!

On to the next race, THE MUD RUN

Then in August we are doing a run that is totally made up of FOAM!!!

What a fun way to get your run in!!
