Doodle Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Was searching around the web and found this. It has been a goal of mine to complete a 5k for at least a few years now. I saw this thought of you all, and despite it being in just about a month away. I'm considering signing up (closest one to me is boston.. or NYC I guess, living in CT) http://thecolorrun.com/ Quote DoodleDwarven Adventurer Level 2= STR-3 | DEX-2 | STA-2 | CON-3 | WIS-2 (+1) | CHA-2 (+1)When Life pushes Me..

Leimanu Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks like fun! Ain't no shame in walking part of the 5k. Just getting out and doing it is the key. Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment

leadchipmunk Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Doodle, also check out Color Me Rad. Same idea, just different cities. There's a closer Color Me Rad 5k for me than Color Run, so you might get lucky too. I'm most likely going to sign up for the Pittsburgh one, or maybe try to volunteer for it.

unicornassassin Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 What is the powder made of? I checked the FAQ but it doesn't say.Edit- I found this The color is a special “elf made†recipe of magical color dust. All products are 100% natural and safe. You can eat the stuff if you’d like (we have tried it and don’t suggest it, it is surprisingly high in calories and leaves a chalky aftertaste).

leadchipmunk Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 What is the powder made of? I checked the FAQ but it doesn't say.In the Color Me Rad run, they use colored cornstarch. No idea outside of "magical color dust" for the Color Run, but I'm guessing it is cornstarch too.

I'm not a runner at all, so I'm going for the experience. It also goes right in front of my gym on a morning when it will be packed, so that's gonna be fun.
