ARCHIVED RACE: Color Me Rad 5k Denver @ Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, CO, United States on 29 September 2012

Historically, running has only been acceptable when trying to escape the law, personal responsibility, the truth, and grizzly bears.

Instead of running FROM something, get ready to run FOR something at this year’s Color Me Rad. Run for the YMCA of Denver!

The color starts flying at 9 am in this 5k race. With waves of runners getting plastered with paint every 5 minutes after. You’ll end up looking like a kindergarten art class gone wrong… but the Art of Running will make you feel oh so right.

How it works:
Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you’ll coat your chaffing thighs with blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side. Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.

What is the “color” in Color Me Rad?
This is non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, Kroger branded, colored corn-starch. Subsidized by the government and processed in the good ol’ US of A, these blasts of starch will change your color, and your demeanor, but never your level of wellness.
