Colour Me Rad – 5k run meets Festival of Colours

It’s running season in Cowtown, but Colour Me Rad is not just for hardcore track athletes – this rainbow explosion of gluten-free awesomeness is for anyone who’s not allergic to fun.

As runners race through Canada Olympic Park, they are bombarded with blasts of colourful corn starch every 5 minutes. What starts out as a pristine white shirt soon turns into a canvas filled with all the most beautiful colours of the galaxy by the end of the 5 kilometers

The run is on Saturday, June 29 (conveniently after exams, wootwoot) – and it’s not too late to sign up (although the early-bird prices are no more).

If you’d rather be the one throwing colours at others (or are a poor student who’d still like to be part of the action), volunteer as part of the Bomb Squad! (the perfect opportunity to get back at your friends… imeanwut? Be nice, kids)

As if that wasn’t bombastic enough, part of the proceeds go to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation in the journey to finding a cure.

So lace up those sneakers to prepare for the funnest run you’ve never done (yet) 😀
