Put the Letter 'F' in the Run

Stacey & Calvin colored it up with a fun run this past Saturday at the Color Run. And this is not their first rodeo with this race! With no focus on timing this is truly a stress free fun run. The website for this 5k is thecolorrun.com. The website describes the race as follows:

WHAT IS THE COLOR RUN™?

The Color Run, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality. Now the single largest event series in the world, The Color Run has exploded since our debut event. We have more than tripled our growth, hosting more than 300 events in 50+ countries in 2014.

There has been an explosion of fun themed races across America in the last few years. Why? Mostly because it attracts a segment of the population that would otherwise be less inclined to take up the endeavor of running. Let's be honest, running is work but it is also hugely rewarding for those that dare to experience the thrill of self powering through miles, up hills, down hills on paved roads and on winding dirt trails. Nothing compares to the outlet of mind and heart as the challenges of life and the problems of the world are resolved in the mind of the runner. Figuratively the mind of the runner believes the euphoric feeling of conquering the run means they have conquered the world.;) That is really a lot of fancy talk to say...running centers you. Not everyone wants to be centered through running so find the activity that gets you moving and use it as a feel good outlet.

Crazy, fun themed runs have been based on all the following... eating, drinking, running naked, dressing in costumes, mud, obstacle courses, music, night and slime. I am sure there are many more I am missing so consider this a teaser!

Just in case you are thinking about a fun themed race here are some real races that you can learn all about and register for!
