But if you're itching for a great time and not from a bad case of diaper rash, Color Me Rad Denver 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 Denver takes place at the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield on August 17th and a portion of the proceeds benefit the YMCA of Denver. Click on the tab that says "Charity Partner" to find out more about what they're doing.
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
The YMCA of Metropolitan Denver is committed to strengthening communities in the areas of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We know that lasting personal and social change comes about when we all work together. That’s why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. The Y's Mission: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
The Color Me Rad race in Denver will support our YMCA Community Programs Branch which has a long history of delivering community-based services to some of Denver’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable youth and families. This unique program branch serves more than 2,200 youth and families annually through emergency and basic human needs assistance, afterschool programming, health and wellness classes, and academic support in a trusted neighborhood location. Community support for these programs has never been more important.
