First Ever Color Splash Fun Dash!!!

We have seen 'color runs' all over face book--the funnest 5k on the planet is their slogan, so we were all beyond pumped to hear that we were gonna have our very own color run here in Bismarck!!  We had perfect weather and a great time!!!  The event was held up at BSC and we had quite the crew ready to get messy!!!

Before the race began-RuthAnn took Addy and Zach and they got situated next to color stations 1,3,&5, they had great seats!  Mom and Dad had the van pulled up(so Dad wouldn't have to get out and walk) and it was fun to see them as we ran by as well!

Anyway---pre-race they offered face painting, inflatables, hot dogs, and each runner was to line up for a group photo where we all 'smashed' a color packet in the air while a guy snapped a picture at the top of a truck lift :)

Pre-race craziness!!  This is right before we all popped our packets open for the camera man!



Our crew-Anna, Lacee, Rick, Tara, Michelle, and Me
Ana, Tara, and Melissa



Us after the first lap around, we stopped by Mom and Dad's van and she snapped a quick picture of us :)



The two orange girls in the front of the picture are Anna and Ana--we told them to stick toegether and we would meet them at the finish line!  They had a BLAST!!!

 

We all started off at different paces, so we looked at the two little girls and said--stay together, we'll meet up at the finish line and we had a BALL!!!  We were all covered in paint (cornstarch and coloring) and if that wasn't enough, you were able to actually roll in the paint when the race was over--Addy loved that feature--street clothes and all :)  She will definately have to attend the full race next year, she will probably lap us all!!

They aren't lying when they tell you it's the funnest 3 miles you will ever run....I couldn't agree more and can't wait until next year :)
