If you're allergic to the metric system, corn starch, or unbridled joy, you'd probably be more comfortable watching Matlock than at the starting blocks of this color-filled 5k.
But if you're itching for a great time and not from a bad case of diaper rash, Color Me Rad Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City takes place on June 22nd at the Salt Lake City Library and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Utah Arts Festival Foundation.
The Color Bombs start flying at 8 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.
Don't forget to LIKE us on
for race updates and to win sweet stuff: more color, running shoes, hoodies, free entries.
Sponsors
Just like Color Me Rad puts the “un” in “run” and the multi-colored
Splenda in your coffee, smart puts the “car” in “uncar” and we’re stoked to have them as the Official Pace Car of Color Me Rad.
smart will be leading out our first wave of runners and don’t let its smallness in
stature fool you. It's got enough strength to be a pro-wrestler and enough
charisma to win over your mother-in-law.

Volunteer
Just like at Christmas and birthdays, 'tis
better to give than receive... right? I know that's a hard one to swallow for 8 year olds, but in this case, it might be true. If you want to pummel your friends and family with color rather than be pummeled, sign up HERE to volunteer and join the COLOR BOMB SQUAD. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.
So quit lollygagging and join us for the race that's been ruining all other 5Ks since 2012 at Color Me Rad Salt Lake City.
Color Me Rad: gluten-free running since 2012 (all previous years were full of gluten).

Charity
From live music and dance performances, to visual arts, short films, literary workshops, and hands-on demonstrations, over four days each June the Utah Arts Festival is are truly where art comes alive, and where art fans come to unite.
We make it our mission to produce an event that brings the community together in celebration of art. We act as a catalyst promoting creativity, inspiring imagination and helping to cultivate an appreciation for art in all its glorious and diverse forms. With the support of generations of loyal Festival-goers, during our 37 year history we have transformed from a small city event into a nationally recognized fine arts festival that draws an average of 86,000 patrons to Salt Lake City area each year.
The Utah Arts Festival is committed to bringing the community together in celebration of art by providing direct, affordable access to a wide variety of artistic mediums in one central location. Fans of art come in many shapes, sizes, colors and forms. From athletes to gardeners, construction workers to accountants, chefs, sculptors, writers, readers, runners, rappers, you name it – art is for everyone and anyone can be a fan!
Art Fans unite! June 20 -23, 2013 at Library Square.
