Today we ran the LA Color Run 5k. The general idea is an untimed race where you run 5 (ish) kilometers, and at each kilometer, someone throws corn-starchy color at you. Simple, right? Fun? Definitely. It was Debby’s first 5K, which was exciting, and we had a big team (Color Us Bad.)

Here’s the crew, pre-race.

 After a handful of photos, we lined up and got ready to run!

At the finish, we found each other again and opened up our color packets we were given at the start.

Then we were REALLY covered in color.

All in all, despite the fact that this race wasn’t quite a 5k (and also wasn’t timed), we had a great time! Sometimes when racing, it’s fun to remember that exercise doesn’t have to be awful, it can be a super-fun crazy morning of throwing colored corn starch at your beloved friends! And, the race was mostly uphill, so that must count for something, right?

Did anyone else do the color run? Is anyone in LA running a race soon?
