Bonnie 's thoughts:

I have no shame, I am a HUGE fan of The Color Run.

One of the best things about The Color Run is you see people of all shapes, sizes and ablities from the youngest kids, to older adults wanting to get out there and get active. And everyone is so supportive of one another. You truly have a party out on the course.

They really worked on the few issues they had last year to try and make it a better expereince for everyone. This year it measured closed to 3.1 miles (at PIR thats a challenge). The color has changed so you start with glitter, get blue, orange, yellow and then towards the end pink. Each location had their own music and was manned by great volunteers. Towards the back of the back pink was a little lacking but everyone got creative and helped each other collect and have the pink.

This was the first year for finisher medals which has just upped the race value even more. When you finish you get a package of color and glitter for the color throw which makes for some of the most amazing photos.

You will not go wrong doing a Color Run. Just be aware of one thing, if you are a serious racer/runner this isnt for you. This is truly about getting out there, getting your calorie burn on and having a lot of fun.
