The Colour Run

Hey everyone! You all have absolutely no idea how excited I have been to (first of all) do the Colour Run) and then write this post!

I have always wanted to do a Colour Run because I had seen photos on Facebook and Instagram and it honestly just looked like it would be a lot of fun. The website describes it as "The Happiest 5K on the planet" and I think I would have to agree. Basically, for those of you who don't know, the Colour Run is a 5km walk/run (whatever you want to do) that money goes towards charity, and you get dressed up and then volunteers at stations throughout the course throw coloured paint at you and you get really really messy. It's a lot of fun. You also get your own paint to throw at each other at the end (and that's a lot of fun too).

I got to do the colour run with Kieran this year. I bought tickets for the event months ago and I was so excited to finally get to do the event over the weekend. We got covered from head to toe in the coloured paint and felt like minions with our headlamps. 

Straight after the event, nice and messy- Kieran has a 'Happy' glow tattoo on the side of his neck haha

After the event- you can't see it but my hair was full of yellow and orange (yucky)

We ran about 1km, off and on and then walked the rest of the way because there were way too many people there to try and run the whole thing without stopping (plus we are too lazy for that anyway). The views of the harbour were beautiful and there were many people watching the event wondering what was actually going on (it was pretty funny watching their faces as we all threw paint at each other).

I am very glad I chose to participate in the colour run this time, even better it was the first Night Colour Run in Australia. I definitely think they will have another one, it looked like such a huge success. After the event, Kieran and I were absolutely starving so we picked up some pizza on the way home. I had to get it and get out of the car and yes.... I was covered in paint still (not as bad because they have a 'cleaning station' at the event, but it was still all over my face). The pizza guy thought it was pretty funny and so did the other customers in the pizza store.

All up, it was so much fun and if there is ever a Colour Run event hosted near you, I definitely recommend that you take part in one because they are so much fun and for a good cause!

Thanks so much for reading
