So this past week, I had the opportunity to be in Knoxville, Tennessee to help set up and organize things for the Color Me Rad 5k. For anybody not familiar with Color Me Rad, it’s an awesome no pressure, maximum fun run where the racers get pelted with colored dust. And at the end, everyone gets their own “color bomb” to throw in a big color toss.
It’s a great chance to get a group of friends and family and show off your best “character.”
You start out clean, and then after 3.1 mile, you look like you were caught in a Skittles factory explosion.
To show you, I took a photo of a really neat set of newlyweds. As in, just got married the night before.
Looks like a pretty “rad” start to the honeymoon.
When I give presentations on weight loss and fitness, alot of people I talk to don’t want to run because they think it’s too competitive and they are slow. Well, I want to tell you that’s not a valid excuse. There are races like this all around the country — family friendly-strollers-welcome, come as you are or want to be, and if you try to get a personal record on the course – we might just throw extra color to slow you down.
This event is all about everything I teach with the philosophy of finishing. Finish what you start, get those 3.1 miles behind you, and have the best time possible while you are doing it. Then you’ll have rainbow boogers and earwax for a few days as a bonus.

I invite you to join me in St. George, Utah for another fun time in early November. Tickets are available now.
Great article. Yes I’m a little bias because I love Color Me Rad. But I love how you incorporated it into finishing what you start and having a great time doing it. I love to see people who are running their first 5K and how proud they are of themselves when they complete it!
