For the last couple years I have been tempted to do one of the 5k runs. I have seen my friends on Facebook posts pictures and its something I have added to my bucket list. The one run that I have been interested in is the The Color Run. I wanted to participate last year but couldn’t because I already had something planned for the date it was on.
The Color Run, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality.
The Color Run was founded in March of 2011 as an event to promote healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the “Happiest 5k on the Planet”. This event isn’t just in Sacramento either, The Color Run has tripled in growth and hosted more than 170 events in 30+ countries in 2013.
This year The Color Run is coming back to Sacramento on August 2. This year I will be participating with one of my daughters and I can’t wait to see how colorful we will look at the finish line.
Here is a list of The Color Run’s next events:
This year is the 2014 Kaleidoscope Tour and they have a pretty AWESOME participant race kit that includes t-shirt, headband, wrist band and sling bag.
To see if your city is on the list, check out The Color Run Events page. If you plan on registering for one of these events, be sure to save yourself some money.
