Color Run for the 4th! I will NEVER sign up for an official Color Run. They range between $35-50 and it is not a timed event. I was so frustrated with all of the colored flour thrown in my face and I couldn't breathe. Anyway, not very fun and I don't get why they are a big deal.... Del Rio City put on a 5k Color Run for the 4th of July and we decided to take part. Got there to pay our $10 registration fee and the race was sold out. They put us on a waiting list. I laughed and said we should just run it anyway. Their problem if they were going to send away people without having them pay. We (David and I) started in the VERY back of the 600 runners and milled our way toward the front. We never did get to the front pack since the race only measures 2.5 miles.... hahahaha. Was I surprised? Well, no, this is Del Rio, there are no surprises anymore. They color stations were obnoxious and I was caked in colored flour and sweat. After the race the flour was getting in my eyes and I felt really gross and ugly. I will do this again next year if I get to run it for free again.
