At the Finish line, there were lots of freebies like McDonalds coffee, Liberté yogurt, coconut water, carbonated flavoured water, etc… Once you past the Finish line, you received a colour powder packet of your choice and throw it at each other. There were 5 colour stations where volunteers threw powder at you and a water station where bottled water was served. Rather you could just join the pack and start running/walking. So no one really checked what heat you signed up for. Jackie and I signed up for the 10:30am heat but since there was a huge interest for the run, there were multiple heats that staggered every few minutes from 10am to 3:30pm. ![]() If you can’t pick up the packet, you can always pick it up on the day of the race and merchandise is available for purchase then. In the packet was a t-shirt, sunglasses (colour of your choice), sticker, and a temporary tattoo. If a friend is picking up the packet for you, all you need to do is go online and sign the waiver ahead of time. This year the pick-up location was at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Two weeks before the run, we were sent information on how to pick up our race packets. We were so glad that we purchased the tickets way ahead of time. Soon afterwards, the prices rose to $62 (incl tax). We purchased our tickets back in January for $43 (incl tax). It wasn’t much of a run for us but rather was just an excuse to throw powder at each other and take lots of photos! We’ve only seen photos of the race and they looked awesome, so we were ecstatic to do this run walk. A portion of the race, went towards the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto. This year, we decided to embark on the COLOR ME RAD 5K!Ĭolor Me Rad 5K was held at Downsview Park this year. Four years ago, Jackie convinced me to train and run our first 10K together. When we do end up in the same country, we always try one new experience together. Though we haven’t lived in the same country for several years & moved onto different ventures…when we are together, it’s like we never skipped a beat. Jackie and I have known each other for almost 22 years now and I couldn’t ask for a better best friend. This is a post dedicated to my best friend, Jackie, as it is her BIRTHDAY today!
