Black Hills Color Run

Color Run

I stopped by the Black Hills Color Fun Run today. These runs are becoming popular around the country. It is not a race and there are no official winners or official times — it is focused on “fun, positive energy, and promoting healthy living for the whole family”. The registration fees from the event today will go toward the Hot Springs Youth Water Park.

The runners and walkers get sprayed with a washable paint-like liquid, usually out of super soakers. At the 5K event today they were sprayed with a different color at each kilometer mark and at the finish.

These next photos are before and after pairs. The first in each pair was taken after the 1 kilometer spraying and the next is the same folks at the finish line, 5 kilometers later.

These folks were among the first to cross the finish line, with the young lady that is second from the left being #1. But remember, it was not a timed event and there was no official winner.

The young lady that crossed the finish line first gets her photo taken for the local newspaper.
