You may have seen pictures all over Facebook, Instagram and Twitter of people running while covered in what looks like different colors of paint.  Well, now’s your chance to be part of it, The Color Run is coming to Green Bay WI September 29th and I have 2 teenage kids who are looking forward to running in it!

The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community

Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more colored powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!

With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow: Wear white at the starting line and finish plastered in color!

 

Be sure to register now and use the promo code COLOR5OFF and save $5 on registration for ANY city that is NOT sold out! Register now as this is an event that usually sells out!

Want to run with a team?

When you register in a team of 4 or more it is automatically $5 cheaper, you can then also use the promo code on top of that and save $10.00. Details are online.

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.

*This code DOES NOT guarantee you a spot in the race so be sure to register if there are still openings available.

Still not sure if The Color Run is for you? Check out this great video for more information!

Planning on participating?  Let me know and I will be sure to watch for you on race day!

Last November, Alex and I had the opportunity to take Alexander and Ellie to see Sesame Street Live:  Can’t Stop Singing at the Brown County Veteran’s Memorial  Arena.  Of course, Ellie was just shy of 11 months old at the time, so she didn’t really get it but Alexander had an absolute blast.  

Now that Ellie has discovered Sesame Street and has fallen for Elmo, Abby Cadabby and the rest of the gang, we are excited that we will be returning to the arena this November to see Sesame Street Live:  Make A New Friend.

No matter where you’re from or where you’ve been, everyone is special – so join in! Elmo, Grover, Abby Cadabby, and their Sesame Street friends welcome Chamki, Grover’s friend from India, to Sesame Street. Together, they explore the universal fun of friendship and celebrate cultural similarities, from singing and dancing, to sharing cookies! Join the fun and make a memory with your friends and family!
Sesame Street Live:  Make A New Friend will be at the Brown County Veteran’s Memorial November 15th-17 for 6 shows.  

You can catch a performance on one of the following days:
