Color Me Rad, Boston 2012

Want to know how Color Me Rad works? You’ve come to the right place. First, you must have your race ticket. No ticket? No color.

The dress code is casual… but you do need enough fabric to attach your number.

That said, most people choose a fresh white outfit for the race.

Once out on the course, though, the volunteers of the color bomb squad make all that change.

Here’s the “race” leader… no prizes, no clock, he just got be be in front of the pack.

When all is said and done, the racers gather up for a final “color burst.”

Pretty much everyone there had a good time. If Color Me Rad is coming to your town, I’d consider giving it a shot.

  2. looks like a lot of ‘good clean fun’ ha! …… at least a lot of good fun ?

    • The race organizers said there would be stations where you could get some of the color blown off, but no such luck. Takes a little soap and water, but clean up was easy. And yes, a lot of good fun. :)
