A group of my friends and I put on our white T-shirts and met up at the Hoover Met to run in a color Me Rad Race! This race was a 5k that benefited the Ronald McDonald House.
There was so much energy going on before the race. Lots of loud, fun music. A really great announcer, getting everyone pumped up for the race, and guess who else?
Sean Astin, you know, the guy from Lord of the Rings, Goonies. A movie star. Right here in Birmingham. That was pretty cool to see right before the race.
So, the race starts with tons of us lined up and the very energetic announcer throwing packets of a colored powdered mixture. The point of this race was to run and be as colorful as you could at the end. Along the way, we would run through areas where people were dashing us with more color.
This gives an idea of the craziness that was going on at the race. You see all that smoke in the air? That would be the colored powder flying all over people.
So fun to see the colors that everyone ended up with!
This is my good friend, Sariah and her three children. They came to watch us race and had just as much fun pouring color all over themselves. I will have to say Sariah was the most colorful of us all. It was such a fun race for a great cause! It's always so much fun to do these races with good friends!
