Happiness starts now: Prepping for The Color Run
The Color Run isn’t your typical 5k – it’s the happiest 5k on the planet! So as you’d expect, you’ll want to prepare a little differently. Forget carbo-loads and breaking in your running shoes. Instead, grab your rattiest pair of sneakers and a tutu and get ready for some fun! Here are a few things to consider before the big day:
-
Pick out the perfect tutu (and make sure you match your best friends).
There is an art to picking out the perfect tutu. Wear it around the house and break it in. After all, you wouldn’t want it to get in the way of your dance moves!
-
Consider buying a selfie stick.
Let’s be honest, you’re going to be tempted to take a lot of selfies – and your Instagrams will reach an impressive level with a selfie stick.
-
Absolutely remember a pair of sunglasses (or goggles, your choice).
There’s a lot of colorful powder in the air. Rock your sleek aviators or strap on some science lab goggles – anything goes.
-
When in doubt, roll on the ground.
You want maximum color coverage during the run. If you feel you’re just not getting enough, stop, drop and roll. That should take care of it.
-
Flaunt your look all over town.
You’ll turn heads when you’re covered head-to-toe in bright colors. Take advantage of it and make reservations at a popular brunch spot in town. There’s always time to shower later.

Don’t forget to capture your happy thoughts on Post-it® Notes.
We celebrate what makes you happy. Maybe it’s your family, your dog or a big ice cream cone. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it! Write it on a Post-it® Note (if you want to be coordinated, we recommend the Rio Collection) and use it as your motivation during the race, and when you’re done, snap an Instagram and tag us – @postitproducts #happiest5k #weshine @thecolorrun
