COLOR RUN 2016

I have participated in the Festival of Colors celebration in Spanish Fork, UT, a few times and had a blast. This year I am going to participate in something similar called the Color Run.

In this race, participants will experience an all-new Tropicolor Zone™ on the course, where they will be bathed in a tropical array of colors and cool island scents as they pass through the shade of palm trees, arches, and island-style music. At the Finish Festival, Color Runners will enjoy even more fun at Rainbow Beach, an interactive island featuring music, dancing, unique photo opportunities, and massive color throws.

Each Color Runner will also receive a limited-edition Tropicolor race shirt, finisher’s medal on a floral-printed ribbon, embroidered headband, and temporary tattoos. We can run as a team! So join me (your own group or just yourself) and let's put on our running shoes because the Tropicolor World Tour will be the most fun and memorable 5k of your life!

Here is a flyer with the dates and info. I want to share promo code COLORSLC2 that will give you a $5 discount at REGISTRATION. Hurry...prices will go up as the race gets closer.

Let's run!

Zombie Chase

A 5k adventure race with zombies, obstacles, and a full moon in a real ghost town? COUNT. ME. IN. The Zombie Chase 5k was held in Eureka, UT, this year. 

Volunteering to be a zombie for the race was a great idea...

Volunteering to be a zombie at the end of the race where the zombies grab paintball guns and shoot you  for 3 hours was NOT such a great idea.

 It started out fun and we walked around getting shot walking like zombies. As the temperature dropped, the practice paintballs (which don't break as easily and those are the shots that hurt most) seemed to be flying faster and harder and we zombies were RUNNING from haystack to haystack to avoid getting hit.

 It was 1 AM when I got home and showered, but I'm pretty sure I counted 40+ welts on my body, 3 bruised fingers, 2 swollen wrists, and a goose egg on the top of my head.

Was it worth it? I dunno. But the race was super fun. Go here to find out more about it and be sure to sign up next year as either a zombie or runner...or maybe even a zombie runner.
