GIVEAWAY! Color Me Rad 5k Entries!

by April on August 24, 2012

Let’s just dive in here because there is some good stuff contained within. Do you want to run the Color Me Rad 5k in Columbia on October 20th but also don’t want to part with forty big ones for the privilege of getting covered in colored cornstarch? Then it’s your lucky day because I have not ONE, but TWO entries to give away for the Columbia race!

If you start training this weekend you’ll have eight whole weeks leading up to the race to get in good enough condition to make yourself proud! Then once the winners are announced you’ll be so invested that you’ll want to run whether you win or not! It’s been so choke on the air humid “famously hot” here lately that I haven’t even bothered to run much at all lately except for a short one with Cherry Pie last Saturday morning so let’s train together, shall we?

Sorry dogge, no pets allowed at this race!

Here are some great resources for eight week 5k training plans that anyone with legs can handle:

    • April

      That is my second dogge! Thanks for entering!

  • Aubrey

    I’m so glad you’re giving away entries to this race. I had already registered for the Color Run in CLT when I heard about this one. I’d love to do both, but they’re expensive races…

    My favorite color is silver, but if we’re sticking with standard rainbow, I love red, too.

  • Aubrey

    And I’m a twitter follower…@highheeledlove

    Bonus question: I think I’ve done 3 or 4 5ks, but it’s been more than a year since my last.

    BTW, we should try to get together for a few training runs at the River Walks.

    • April

      Yes we definitely need to do that! Now that it’s not suffocatingly hot I’ve been going around the neighborhood after work this week when it hasn’t been pouring!

  • Jenn Covington

    Blue is my favorite color and I’ve run about 10 5Ks…I think. Doing a 5K is not something I do often, but this is one I’d like to do with my 7-year-old and she’s super-excited about it. This may be the prettiest 5K yet!

  • Tonia Pearson Cochran

    My favorite color is Palmetto Blue. I’ve ran two 5Ks. I really want to get more involved with running – but as you mentioned – living in the armpit of the South, I mean *famously hot* Columbia prevents me from running outside during the summer as I’m very hot natured. Love the fall/winter runs though.

    • theaprilblake

      Haha the armpit. Good description!

  • Amanda Brown

    My favorite color is GREEN! I have done two mud runs and one 5k! I would love to win this prize because I am officially moving home to the great state of South Carolina and this would be a great way to celebrate moving back south! Go Cocks!

  • Emma

    Oooh! Maybe if I win a free entry, I will be forced to actually start running. Fave color is probably green, but it’s tough to choose.

    • theaprilblake

      Yep nothing like freebs to call you to action!
