The Color Run Des Moines ~ Save $5 Off Registration

This post contains sponsored content.


I started running in January of this year.  At first it was just to get myself moving again after a long period of no exercise.  Then running actually became something I enjoyed and wanted to do more of.  I ran my first 5K on vacation in April and have ran 2 more since then.  My hubby has joined me on the last couple and even though his pace is much faster than mine it is still something we enjoy doing together.  Next weekend we'll be running The Color Run in Des Moines.

The Color Run is still pretty new to the Des Moines area.  If you haven't heard of it, it is known as "The Happiest 5K on the Planet".  This run is less about your personal best time and more about having fun as you go.  The race itself is unique because their are only two rules - wear white at the starting line and finish plastered in colored paint.  


The Color Run Des Moines will take place next Saturday, July 13th.  There will be two start times at 9am and 1pm.  Right now you can save $5 off your registration when you use promo code COLORIOWA.  If you register in a team of 4 or more it is automatically $5 cheaper and you can also use the promo code on top of that to save $10. How does a “Color Team” work compared with a solo runner? Pretty simple, you register as a (4 minimum/infinity max) unit rather than as an individual.  You get to pick a groovy custom team name, anything from The Roy G Biv All-stars to We Sweat Rainbows.  You then get to run/walk together and “help” each other get really colored up over the 5 color kilometers.  There is no “relay” component and team members can finish together as a unit or separately.  


Head over to The Color Run Des Moines to learn more and register.  Packet pick-up begins this Thursday.


Disclosure:  I'm receiving race registrations in exchange for sharing the Color Run info with you, but all opinions are 100% mine.  We're excited to experience our first Color Run next weekend!
