Color Run
 

Has anybody done a Color Run? Children's Health Care of Atlanta did one today and they are hysterically funny. You start out the run in a white T-shirt and as you get to certain points in the race, people spray you with powdery but sticky colors and then at the end, you're sprayed with this incredible rainbow of color. There are pictures on FB of clouds of colors going up in the air at the end.

There's no place nearby to wash off so 10,000 people have left the site in various hues--Ballerina is at least half purple.:D

Sounds like Holi!

I'm doing Color Run part 2 next weekend in Atlanta - it looks like it will be a blast!

I am going to do the Portland one in September. Just waiting for registration to open!

A bunch of my OPA sisters did it in Atlanta today and some more are doing it next weekend!

Wow! I just saw the finish line pictures and Ballerina and the Baby Berry Cousins look like Easter eggs!

Sounds like lots of fun!

My daughter ran in Atlanta today to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday. She said she had a blast and the pictures were hilarious!

I found this promotional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWsfHC-0d6A

Looks like fun, but the neat freak in my was also cringing!

I would totally freak out by that!

But my 19 year old self would have loved it!

PS: when I saw the title of the thread, I thought of madras...

I thought of laundry, when you wash something red with the lights and the color runs all over everything :)

That's what I thought the topic was. :o

I did too, when Ballerina said that they were doing that run! Honeychile, omigosh, madras! It was a huge big deal to have it with the colors properly run!

Looks pretty, but all I can think is how do you keep it out of your eyes and mouth? Is it food grade stuff? I would guess you'd wear clothes that you'd throw away.

I've purchased swim goggles to wear during the run, and am going to have a bandana over my nose and mouth.

I seriously cannot wait!
