Color Me Rad is a unique and exciting twist on a standard 5K road race that has been touring the country and is finally ready to make a stop in the City of Brotherly Love. The gimmick behind Color Me Rad is simple: runners show up in a white T-shirt and by the end of the race they’re covered in a rainbow of vibrant hues, courtesy of spectators throwing handfuls of non-toxic, brightly-colored cornstarch at them as they run. Sure, it’s silly and messy, but it’s also a ton of fun. At the finish line, a huge celebration tends to break out as sweaty, colorful runners drink, dance, and enjoy each other’s company, laughing at all the hues. A portion of the proceeds go to benefit a local charity as well – in this case, Special Olympics Philadelphia. Pre-registration is required, and races tend to fill up fast, so don’t wait until the last minute. Click here to visit Color Me Rad's website for more information.
