New Orleans Color Run Recap with Swiftwick

THE COLOR RUN

NEW ORLEANS

So what can make the happiest 5k in the world even more happier?

Add Swiftwick socks and you've got a day of pure happiness.

What would be more fun than take 20 of your friends and put them in the worlds most comfortable socks and go run a 5k while people throw powder paint on you?

Well that's exactly what I did...

Look how fabulous they look in their Swiftwick Aspire 12 compression socks...

If you haven't heard about The Color Run series yet, let me tell you about it.

Basically the dress code is white, white, and more white

As a matter of fact it was 13,000 people in nothing but white. (Diddy would have been proud)

The point of this non timed run is to get as colored as possible at the 5 color stations along the 3.1 mile course. So we all lined up at the start line for the time of our lives...

It was a beautiful day in New Orleans, the weather was perfect and the atmosphere was amazing. This race is set up for everyone of all ages and at all levels of fitness to do. No one actually races it, it is more about who can look the most like an oompa loompa when they cross the finish line.

My friend Sara, HEY GIRL HEY!

When they say its the happiest 5k around they weren't kidding...

Gina looking "superfly"

After the race there was a huge dance party. Our resident dancer was showing everyone how it was done. Love ya, Jennifer!

There was also a few tents set up at the race...

Overall we had a blast and we definitely would do it again. They are coming back to New Orleans in February for the Mardi Gras Color Run. I am definitely thinking about adding it to my fun races for next year. If you want to sign up for The Color Run, check HERE for a city near you.

I personally want to thank the people over at Swiftwick socks for helping us take over The Color Run. Everyone loved the socks and the shirts. We cant wait to do it again. 

Check out Swiftwick socks. It is the only sock I will wear. They are AMAZING!

We took a ton of pictures so I thought I would make a slideshow for you guys if you want to look at it...

QOTD: Have you ran a "fun" run before?

*I was not compensated for this post, however we were supplied with shirts and socks for the race. Opinions are all mine and no one elses.
