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. 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.
There's also (for next year) the Ferndale Color Run in June every year which kicks off Ferndale Pride! Not sure if that's the run you're talking about or not. I didn't know there were other ones in the area.

How funny, I've just done the same thing today, I have a hairline fracture on my big toe. Color Run is in 4 weeks so hopefully I'll be ok! DH is making fun of my shuffling about though!
Heh, so Mr. LP is a runner and was doing as many races as possible. He signed up for this and was feeling good that day...he won!...only to find out it was a fun run and not timed, womp womp.
The brightest color run is happening in Folsom, Sacramento on September 1, 2013. Book your and your family's spot today and enjoy the most ravishing event in town.
