But if you're itching for a great time and not from a bad case of diaper rash, Color Me Rad Providence is the run for you.
By intelligent design or evolution, man was meant to run for one thing and one thing only: to stay alive. Pamplona was the first real race organized for what running should be: running from stuff that's going to kill, gore, or maim you.
Luckily, we've evolved to where we only hunt for attractive potential mates, we only gather for extreme couponing, and we only run to benefit charities and our cardiovascular system.
Race Details
Color Me Rad Providence takes place on September 28th at Seekonk Speedway and a portion of the proceeds benefit Boys Town New England.
The Color Bombs start flying at 9 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.

Charity
"Changing the way America cares for children, families and communities by providing and promoting an Intergraded Continuum of Care that instills Boys Town values to strengthen body, mind and spirit" is the guiding mission at Boys Town New England.
Boys Town was established over 95 years ago in Omaha, Nebraska by Father Edward Flanagan and since has become the nation's leader in providing treatment to at-risk children and their families. In 1991, community leaders from Rhode Island and Massachusetts requested that Father Flanagan's Boys Home (better known as "Boys Town") bring its high quality programs to the New England area. Since that time, Boys Town New England has helped thousands of children and their families through its researched based, evidenced-driven model of care. As one of the largest child and family services organizations in the United States, Boys Town offers a broad spectrum of services.
Today, Boys Town New England brings help, healing and hope to youth and families by using the Boys Town Integrated Continuum of Care. This continuum provides graduated levels of services to meet the specific needs of the children and families. The range of services at Boys Town New England includes Residential services, Foster Care, Family Support Services, Visitation Services and Parenting Classes.
