My friend Rochelle found out about this fun 5K called the "Color Run". The throw colored powder on you through out the race and by the end you're covered in color! There were 6,000 people, so it was a little crazy, but super fun! The weather was PERFECT! They profits went to 3 Square, which provides meals for needy children here in Las Vegas. It was a great cause to run for, I sure am thankful to have good food to feed my children everyday.
We got a group discount as a team... meet the "Mamacitas!" :) Look how nice and white we look! They let people start to run in groups of 1,000. So even though it started at 9:00 we didn't start til about 9:15. Once we got away from the crowds it was such a nice, beautiful run!
Entering color zone #2!
Jess and I exiting color zone #4
Just past the finish line!
Liz, Becca, Alicia, Jess, Michelle and Rochelle. I had such a blast with all these fun ladies!!
Ryan is amazing and decided to brave taking all three kids downtown by himself at 8:45 in the morning! He was the only husband that came, and that brought the kids and I was so glad he did! The kids had fun seeing all the action, and little Marlee couldn't stop staring at me :)
Every 5ish minutes they would count down and you could throw these color packets they gave you, this is about 10 second after one of the countdowns.
My two cuties! They ventured into the "color zone" with me and got a little color on them. Brin loved it and wanted to get covered, but Casen was a little scared by the craziness and started running away... fortunately I caught him and he didn't get lost in the crowd.
A shot with the same Vegas sign behind us as the first shot, just with a little color! Brinley decided to join us girls and even got to ride home with us. Maybe next year she can run it!
