The Color Run

Two weeks ago, Mike and I participated in The Color Run which benefits the American Heart Association.  If you've ever run in a 5K - this is unlike any other.  You are to start the race clean, wearing a white shirt.  At every kilometer you are "showered" with color (which is some cornstarch color mixture).  At the conclusion of the race there is a "Color Explosion" to celebrate a job well done.  The pictures explain it all.

Before the run.... and the mess...

During the run....
2nd Kilometer - a sea of pink...
the purple haze - shout out to all you lumberjacks!
coming through the purple haze
4th kilometer - it's raining green
the finish line
   
Here are several shots of the Color Explosion.  Each runner is given an additional packet of color to toss at the end of the race.  A big mess, but pretty to watch. 
thank you instagram for this photo

 
 
the final result - and we were moderate compared to some
