COLOR RUN 2014

Hey guys!

Today I'll be writing about Colour Run, the "Happiest 5km" you'll ever experience!
Firstly, a little bit more about the Colour Run, in case you are unaware of what it is. It was first founded in March 2011 as an event to promote health and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the "Happiest 5k on the Planet".The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants, or “Color Runners”, are dousedfrom head to toe in different colors at each kilometer! So they gave us a white shirt a week before the race to wear so that the colours can be seen!

We walked to a huge event village filled with an abundance of booths to buy merchandise/take pictures (and we were even able to get them printed on the spot!) I bought a tank top and a tutu and we also got this free "limited edition" New Balance bandanas for taking pictures with the 3D art!

the tutu!

We had a pre-race party and it was insane. Everyone was partying and raving to loud music and we danced and sang to warm up for the race!

And we were off to a blue start! (because they threw blue powder at us at the starting line)

here's us at different points of the race

It was really fun hi-fiving runners running past and laughing with strangers!
The powder was actually flour so it wasn't toxic or anything (it just tasted weird when it got into my mouth).

After the race, we gathered for the after-party and famous colour throwing festival where everyone was given a pack of coloured flour to throw up in the air after a countdown!

It was such a great experience with the best company, music and atmosphere! I bumped into so many friends that I haven't met in a while too. After the party we went to wash up and head back to Vivo!

I recommend everyone to try color run at least once in their life! Although I was exhausted at the end of the day and I got a bit of a sore throat after but I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
