The Color Run – We’ve got the hook up!

logo

Hey Scooters! We’ve got an awesome opportunity for those of you wanting to check out The Color Run (that’s all of you, of course). The Color Run, aka the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality and giving back to the community. Each kilometer participants are doused from head to toe in different colors, painting a kaleidoscopic array all over your entire being. As we’ve mentioned in a previous post, these runs are a great way to let loose, have fun with friends and get painted with color!

The lovely folks at The Color Run were kind enough to hook up our readers with some incentives. Holla!

Firstly, we’ve got promo codes for $5 off of registration at four, yes FOUR, locations. We picked these locations all over the country so that hopefully you’ll be near one of the sites listed. If you’re not, why not plan a road trip to visit a friend or family in the area?

Grandma lives in Columbus? Grandma can take part too! (Honestly, who can resist the post-race Color Festival? Not Grandma, that is for sure.)

Anyway, what we’re trying to say is feel free to share the codes on Twitter, Facebook, by carrier pigeon or where ever your heart desires. The more, the merrier!

  • August 31, 2013 event in Englishtown, NJ – use the code: COLORSCOOT1
  • June 29, 2013 event in Pomona, CA – use the code: COLORSCOOT2
  • October 19, 2013 event in Charlotte, NC – use the code: COLORSCOOT3
  • July 20, 2013 event in Columbus, OH – use the code: COLORSCOOT4

A couple of things about the codes that you should keep in mind:

– The promo code will take $5 off your registration fee. The codes are race specific so make sure you snag the right one. If you sign up as a group (that’s a “Team” opposed to an “Individual” during registration) you’ll get an additional $5 off.

– Remember that even if you’ve got a promo code, it doesn’t guarantee a spot in the race. These races fill up quickly, due to the sheer awesomeness, so if you’re planning on joining in the fun, make sure to register ASAP.

    • Who knew that Ohio was such a happening place! The Color Run there will obviously be epic. 🙂 Best of luck!

    • Awesome! Good luck, Jackie! I’ve participated in The Color Run and I can tell you that it’s an AMAZING race. 🙂

    • A couple of tips:

      1. You can roll on the ground. And trust me when I say that people do. If you’re going to make color angels, try to do it where there’s not a lot of foot traffic. 😉

      2. Get your shirt a bit wet prior. The color likes to stick to water (or sweat). But you’ll probably want to go with water.

      3. Go up to the volunteer throwers and say “HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!” Singing probably helps too. Since it’s an untimed event, spend as much time as possible in the color zones until you’re completely satisfied with your painting.
