Being a grown-up is pretty lame. Go to work, run errands, pay bills. The daily grind is so boooooring. So who doesn’t love an opportunity to let your kid flag fly?
Enter the Color Run, a 5K of straight-up silliness that ends in a cornucopia of chromacity. You haven’t seen so many hues since your finger-painting days.
This stateside-famous event is all about entertainment: just a fun-for-all jaunt in which participants get pelted with a rainbow of “magical color dust.” (No, really, that is exactly how it’s described at the website.) You can run, walk, or skip the 3.1 miles. And there’s no timing, no pressure, no overly serious athletes, or other buzzkills.
