THE COLOR RUN 5K- MIAMI 10/12/2013

I showed up last year with my 9 year old daughter to what was claimed to be "THE HAPPIEST 5K ON THE PLANET". They were not kidding! Loud music, color everywhere, happy faces, costumes and a whole lot of fun!

I naturally registered months ago for this year's fun being held on 10/12/2013 and I recently was asked to be a Color Run Ambassador and blog about it and I jumped at the opportunity because I truly believe this is a great race and even more so with family and kids. There is no timing chip, no pressure, just fun!  Walk or run with family and friends and have a good time! Yes, tons of colored powder will be thrown at you but if you don't want to leave looking like a rainbow, you have the option to walk through the color stations without getting totally bombed. If you're going with crazy children (such as my daughter), you can let your inner child roam free and get color bombed and get real messy and love every minute of it!

WEAR WHITE AND FINISH IN COLOR!

*If you are going with smaller children, I suggest goggles (such as pool goggles) to keep the powder out of their eyes and adults should wear glasses as well to avoid being uncomfortable. A handkerchief will come in handy as you pass through the color stations because there is a lot of powder in the air and if you are very sensitive to that sort of thing, try walking briefly through the color stations through the middle and you won't get splattered as much.
