Description:
Participate in the most colorful 5k you'll ever run with the Color Me Rad Blacksburg 5k on Sunday, October 20th on the campus of Virginia Tech beginning at 10 am.

You’ll start off with a shirt as pure and white as your grandpa's dentures and you'll soak up enough color while running to change your skin tone forever. You'll wind up looking like a pack of skittles – just make sure not to “taste the rainbow.”

The Color Bombs start flying at 10 am with waves of runners getting plastered with paint every 5 minutes after. You'll end up looking like a kindergarten art class gone wrong... but the Art of Running will make you feel oh so right.

The start and finish lines are near 791 Southgate Drive on the campus of Virginia Tech behind the South End Zone of Lane Stadium and near the Chicken Hill parking lot.

The charity partner for the Color Me Rad 5k is the Special Olympics of Virginia. A portion of the proceeds will be donated.

Volunteers are also needed for the race for a variety of shifts and positions. If you are interested in volunteering, visit: https://www.givepulse.com/event/2655-Color-Me-Rad-5K-Blacksburg

Packet Pick-up details will be available 2 weeks prior to the race date. It is important to pick up your packets (race bib, t-shirt, sunglasses, tattoo) prior to race morning because lines can get a little out of control and you don't want to miss your wave time do you?

Note: The colors thrown at you are gluten-free, non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, Kroger branded, colored corn-starch.

Note: This 5k is not timed.
