A few weekends back, my 2 best girlfriends and I headed to Nashville TN for the Color Run. I had decided that I wanted to do this the moment I found it on Pinterest. We purchased tickets the moment they were available, which was good considering they sold out immediately. The tickets came with t-shirts, headbands, and tattoos! Oh plus a water bottle. We purchased bags and really cute socks!
Click here for the news article in Nashville on it after it was over. Also, click there to watch a video of two people getting married after running in it. We had tutus, crazy hair, and even Elvis showed up for the run! Yes, people got a little crazy.
So, there were about 15,000 people in the run PLUS all the people that went to support loved ones and watch it all happen. This was not a timed race. It was about having a great time while being blasted with color. The color was made from some type of flour or something. The color stops were every K and although it was awesome, it was a little overwhelming to breath. All worth it though, very worth it! By the end of the race we were covered from head to toe. There was an awesome after party that I have some video of but have not uploaded it yet. The after party was everyone jumping, dancing, and thrown packets of color up in the air or at people. Plus live music and and awesome DJ. I have to say, the people that put this together did an amazing job! I was impressed with everything from pit stops with cold water, to the dj, to the vendors, and so on! Come to find out (when getting in the shower) we had color in places that I have never had any type of color.. place I didn’t know could get color. It was a mess but I’d do it I will do it again for sure!
All decked out before the run!

Waiting in line with 15,000 other people.
The picture above is when we were on the bridge. We were the 11th group to leave, meaning every so many seconds they let a few 100 go. This was just the people I could see from the bridge waiting to go. SO MANY PEOPLE
Blue mustache! and getting colorful…
We didn’t get to run with Sonja but we met up afterwards to shower and go downtown for lunch. Such great memories! I can’t wait for the next run..
