The Happiest 5k on the Planet!

When the signs said The Happiest 5k on the Planet I knew the run would be fun.... but  had no idea the extent of the COLOR PARTAY!  First of all it was freezing at 40 degrees while we were waiting. I must say we had fun with our outfits.

I was so excited my mom could come and join the fun!

        As we're waiting it was so much fun to look at other outfits. We saw tutus, plenty of high colorful socks, and a lot of wigs.   The build up while we were waiting was crazy. We did the wave and danced to fun pump up music. 

    ....And when we started, our first color was yellow. As we ran through the yellow cloud, dust covered us as volunteers squirted it all over us. Next we had pink, followed by red, then purple, and blue. It was so exciting to run through the different colors.   Little did I know how quickly the run would pass when we were having such a blast.  It was so exciting to see people of all ages and sizes celebrating exercising and helping the local charity, Girls on the Run.  There were a variety of people running, walking and acting crazy.  After, we took a lot of fun pics:

         When we crossed the finish line, there was a huge color rave party.  It was amazing!  We got color packets for the rave party in our pre run packets.  There was also an awesome band and plenty of fun giveaways.  Every 15 minutes or so there would be a color throw.  Everyone counted down.....and boom the color packets were thrown everywhere.




There were clouds of color surrounding us!

I have to say, this was the most fun run I have every been to.  Also, I loved how everyone joined together to help a great cause and celebrate exercise.  What has been your favorite run or exercise event you have been to?
