Man, I just got back from one of the most bizarre, yet wonderful experiences of my life: the color run 5k. Now, I have participated in a lot of 5k runs, but this was a completely different experience from any of those. I could tell right off that this run was going to be different when I saw their website and surprisingly found myself laughing out loud at their website, and at the actual event, the staffers and volunteers were so much fun and high energy.
For those of you who do not know what a color run 5k might be, well, let me set the stage. I arrived, got the registration packet, which included an amazing t-shirt, some sunglasses, and a few other things, including a packet that I will tell you about in a minute. Once I had my number in place and my sunglasses on, I eagerly awaited the starter signal.
Once it sounded, I was off, running at a nice easy pace, because while I appreciate a bit of competition, I was there to have fun and get a bit of exercise. After running for a few minutes, we were elated to find ourselves in the middle of an almost magical cloud of colored powder. This was not a chance attack by color enthusiasts, instead, it was the Color Bomb Squad, the folks who volunteer to bombard the runners with colored powder.
These periodic blasts of blissful color are what makes the color run so much fun, and everyone was having a great time. I ran the entire five kilometers, getting a fresh coating of colors every few minutes, and by the time I reached the finish line, I was completely covered in vibrant color from head to toe, and I felt like a living, breathing rainbow.
At the finish line, everyone was completely energized and excited, and everyone was hugging and enjoying the sense of euphoria and laughing about the colors cakes on their faces. I didn't want the moment to ever end, but end it did and I went home, feeling just a cool feeling that stayed with me for a few days. I enjoyed myself so much that I could barely wait to participate in another one and when I heard about the color run San Diego was going to have, I decided I should go visit my sister and introduce her to the incredible experience of a color run.
