TIPS FOR RUNNING IN A COLOR RUN
-
HAVE A GOOD TIME. Some run, some walk, some try to beat their best time.
-
KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED. Colored teeth can be fun but hacking and spitting the color takes away from your awesomeness. When approaching a color station take a deep breath and close your mouth.
-
PROTECT YOUR EYES. The colored corn starch is non-toxic, but it can sting a little if you get it in your eyes. Wear some sort of shades.
-
PUT SOME TISSUE IN YOUR POCKET. You may need to clean your nose between stations.
-
DRESS THE PART. White t-shirts are provided for those who pre-registered. But if you did not, white is the preferred color. It will make a great souvenir. ALSO don’t be afraid to dress up. This is a fun event where you can feel like a kid again. Wigs, headbands, crazy socks and colorful pants are encouraged.
-
BRING SOME FRIENDS. Its’s more fun if you have a TEAM!!!
-
THE COLORS WILL RUN. Bring a towel to protect your seats. You may want to bring a change of clothes. You may want to wear a tank top or some sort of undershirt to keep colors from running onto your skin
-
SOUVENIR TIME. Spray shirt with vinegar, working to ensure it is completely covered and allow to dry in sun. The tumble dryer to finish setting color.
