Wanna know what's rad?: A Pretty Rad Weekend

If you're like me, your facebook wall has been inundated with filthy runners covered in neon corn starch. I was one of those colour-laden folks who participated in this past weekend's Color Me Rad run supporting Big Brothers and Sisters of Toronto. A definite trend in the race world is the emergence of theme inspired runs; let it be running from Zombies or running in your underwear (See The 21 Most Incredible Themed Races here).

Color Me Rad is one of the many "Color runs" that have emerged over the past years. The basis of the race is runners dress in white then run the 5K race, where as they pass each kilometre, they get doused in a different colour. The race culminates in a colour bomb party where each runner bursts their colour bomb on command and everyone dances in a big rainbow cloud. Sound cool? It was. Although the weather was less than ideal (it was pouring rain during our heat in the race), the temperature was warm and the rain helped to keep us all comfortable while being covered in corn starch. We then rode home on the subway attracting some very confused looks. Anyone can run this run, children and seniors alike, so I suggest you go out there and get your colour on! Next race in the GTA is in Kitchener/Waterloo in October, click here to sign up :)
