The other day, Color Me Rad Asked me if I would like to run the Color Me Rad run in Philadelphia. Of course I said YES!! I’ve been toying with the idea of registering for a few weeks now. Specifically because proceeds of the Philadelphia run goes to the Special Olympics. I’ve never done a run like this before, so I am so excited. I’m not going to lie, I hate getting dirty, but I’m excited about this! I can only imagine what I’m going to look like post-race. I didn’t want to run the race alone so I asked Bryan if he’d be interested in going with me. He was excited to say the least.
If you aren’t familiar with the Color Me Rad 5k, here is some quick information.
How does Color Me Rad work?
As stated on the Color Me Rad website, “Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you’ll coat your chaffing thighs with blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side. Yup…that is how you turn regular running into The Art of Running!
Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.”
Is it timed?
Nope. I’m not sure if I’ll be running this or walking along with Bryan, but either way I’m sure I won’t even care about timing.
What is the “color” made of?
The blasts of color that will be thrown at participants are clusters of “non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, Kroger branded, colored corn-starch.”
Is there a race in my city?

Broad Street Run on May 6th, yay!!!
I have never run a race but this would be a great first one!
Hi Nicole! This sounds so fun! I’m running my first race tomorrow actually at our local community center! I’d love to do this one in Philly though!
I follow you on Twitter. 🙂
I’m running the official Color Run in June, but I’d love to run this one as well to compare!
This sounds like so much fun!
I am registered for the Spartan Race (sprint) this August but I’m not sure if I will still be able to run it as I’m expecting in September.
This untimed run sounds like it would be much better for a big old pregnant lady without the time component or obstacles!
Hi Nicole! I was looking for a 5k in June, this would be awesome! And I would do the Philadelphia race!
