A Rainbow of Fun at The Color Run in Denver

August 8, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

The Color Run Denver

This weekend I participated in my second color-filled fun run! The Color Run came to downtown Denver to fill the streets around Coors Field with crazy, fun runners who were more concerned with getting doused with color-infused cornstarch than setting a new personal record. And I LOVED it!!

Disclosure: I received entries to The Color Run in exchange for spreading the word, but all opinions are my own. See my full policy here.

Kirk and I started at the KIND tent – all fresh and white.

When we moved to the starting line, we decided to test our our color packets on Kirk!! He’s such a good sport…

We met up with Kaity & Casey before the event started (she’s the one throwing purple in the picture above) and stayed together through the “race”. We ran between color stations and made sure we got covered in each color while we walked those sections!

Woohoo Here Comes The Blue

The Happiest 5K on the Planet

In addition to the color, these fun signs were all along the course. Announcing each color station or just making random comments, they provided extra entertainment as we covered the 3+ miles back to Coors Field!

I Love Tutus and Sweat Rainbows

After we crossed the finish line, the party really started! Every few minutes, they had these “color bombs” by the concert stage. But it’s much more fun to see it than for me to try to explain it:

The best photo of the day was all Lauren’s idea, it was a #kindawesome jump for joy while covered in color. Lots of fun people in this photo: Casey, Kaity, me, Lena, and Kirk.

Jumping is #KINDAwesome

Although this photo of the Color Unicorn is pretty awesome too!

Thanks again to The Color Run for giving us the opportunity to participate in the race & KIND for all the goodies at the finish line! Remember that you can still save $5 off your entry to any remaining open race by using this discount code.

And now it’s time to say good-bye for the day, as Kirk carries me away!

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
