The Colour Run was a fair few weeks ago, but with the Sydney run happening soon in August (click here to book tickets), I thought it'd be a good opportunity to divulge the fun of the run and get you lovely people excited and revved up to conquer the 5kms!
I loved the Colour Run. Point blank. Buuuuut was extremely disappointed to find that the money spent on tickets was not even at least partially given to charity.
However, once you get over that fact, the event is actually pretty spectacular.
It all started the night before, racing after work to get to Wollongong on time to register and pick up our packs. And suddenly it was the next morning, and my friend, P, and I donned our gear... (alongside our homemade and *super* gorgeous tutus!)
After a quick bout of morning zumba in the park to warm ourselves up at this ungodly hour, we took off, running under arches heralding the colour we were about to be splattered with.

The real fun, though, was the colour rave that followed the run - hundreds of people dancing, shouting, singing, and throwing colour packets into the air so forcefully as to make the entire park look as if shrouded in nighttime, before the music and light shone through again as the colour settled. It. Was. Incredible.
Completely coloured and mud soaked (it had rained incessantly the night before), we took to the beach to relax and giggle.
