The website says it's food grade cornstarch. To me, it looks like ground up sidewalk chalk.

AnchorAlumna, the website goes into all that. You CAN eat it but they say it's not tasty and is remarkably high in calories. I think they said it's basically food colored corn starch. They also give instructions on how to make the color stick permanently to your clothes if you want.

There's a Color Run in Irvine the weekend after we arrive there so I hope to see it. They sold out, added another start time and sold out on that one as well! Apparently this is a hot activity for people.

I'm doing it in Columbus in July with some of my TD sisters. Super excited!

I'm doing the NJ race. NYC is sold out. :(

A bunch of my sisters did it and had trouble washing the colors out, specifically pink. It looked really cool though. How do you get to be one of the color people?

Find out which organization is sponsoring it and contact them to volunteer. All events need lots of good volunteers!

I am doing the Vancouver one on August 18th, but only because I got a free entry through my running store. It looks like fun.

The Chicago color run was earlier this summer. A bunch of gals from my JC did it and the pictures were awesome.

I just did the Color Run in New England with a friend of mine this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. Some of the colors took a few days to get rid of though.

My chapter made a team and we're doing a Color Me Rad race together this fall! We're going to put tape on our shirts in the shape of our letters and then rip off the tape at the end! :)

Also it's my first ever race so I'm super excited!

I did the Columbus one. I accidentally inhaled the blue powder. Hold your breath in the color zones!

I ended up skipping it. It was a hot day and I didn't feel like doing it on a Saturday, when I knew I had a 16 mile run on Sunday as part of my marathon clinic. :)

I know this thread is a little old, but Color Run is finally coming to the UK, DH & I, along with a bunch of friends are taking part, cannot wait for some messy fun!

A few of my sisters did the Run or Dye 5K a few weeks back and loved every minute of it.

There's Color Me Rad coming in the Fall....I'll try that.

I never thought I could walk 3.1 miles but I signed up for my local Color Run. I made it up to 2.5 on the treadmill so I knew I could do it. After the training I did, I slipped on our ceramic tile while getting ready that morning and broke my toe. :mad: I still went with my friends and walked from the car to the finish line (which was right by the start), and slowly walked to the blue section which was the last color. I sat and watched everyone and then met up with my friends. I was so bummed but still got some color.

Color Me Rad was held the same day downtown Detroit (ours was on EMU's campus) and now Run or Dye is coming up in August and I'm debating walking that.
