(Kapolei)– If you are looking to get out and be active this weekend look no further, The Color Run 5k is where you should be. The Color Run 5k (3.1 miles) is a unique experience focused less on speed and more on crazy color fun with friends and family. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of The Color Run course will be the most memorable and colorful run of your life because of the uniqueness of the experience, according to organizers.
When participating in this race you are going to want to follow a couple basic rules. First, wearing a white or mostly white shirt is a must to soak up all the colors of the rainbow during your trek to the finish line. Second, wear a smile and be prepared to look like you fell into a Willy Wonka… tie dyed… vat of colored goodness!
Each kilometer of the event is associated with a designated color: yellow, orange, pink, or blue. As the runners/walkers reach the Color Zones, volunteers will blitz them with that particular color. All products are 100% natural and safe. You can eat the stuff if you’d like but it is not suggested.
The Color Run 5k in Oahu is happening this Saturday, November 3rd at 9am in beautiful Kapolei. For more information visit http://thecolorrun.com/hawaii/
