The Color Run has been an extremely popular race series across the globe, expanding quickly over the last few years. But despite its popularity, I’ve never gotten to do one. What! This is the year that will change when I do the Richmond run this September.

If you’re unfamiliar with what The Color Run is, it’s a run series founded in January 2012 where participants run a 5k, going through four color stations and ending at a big finish party. Runners and walkers are both encouraged to participate wearing all white, untimed, and the company also partners with local non-profit groups to give back.

New to the event this year is the Kaleidoscope Tour:

The participant gear (which you preview on their website) looks awesome.

In addition to giving me the opportunity to experience the Happiest 5k on the Planet, one lucky winner is also getting free entry into The Color Run. The giveaway runs from May 12-16 and winner will be announced via Twitter and have 24 hours to respond!
