Running: The New Trend

Running had never been so much fun! Even if you still think running is not your cup of tea, try one of these fun races and you will see how you change your mind. In the same way there are numerous party themes, you will now find different themed 5Ks as well. Some of these 3.1-mile races which lately have become very popular are the Zombie Run and the Color Run. Although all of them were created for people to have fun, they all have their own characteristics making each of these races unique. 
The Zombie Run, on one hand, can actually be quite scary. You will have to put on a belt with 3 flags representing the lives that you have and that you must take care of since the zombies will be trying to steal your 3 chances to end the race alive. Despite the fact that you know those are people dressed up as zombies and using scary makeup, the feeling of having someone trying to hunt you down can be a little frightening. Not everyone participating in this 5K will make it to the end alive; in fact it is quite possible that you end up dead if you are not able to outrun all of the zombies you come across. Moreover, all the participants will have to overcome obstacles like mud pools, an electrical shock house, and barbed wire you must crawl under.
If you make it to the finish line alive you will take home a much deserved medal, and if that is not the case you will take home the good memories and the experience of being part of an intense and extremely fun race!
                                   

                                 
The Color Run, known as The Happiest 5K in ton Planet is an explosion of colors and happiness! Opposite to the Zombie Run, in this entertaining race, you don’t have to be worried about making it to the finish line alive. In this painpaintinge, there are no winners so “competition” is not a word you will hear at this event. The main purpose of participating in this un-timed 5K is to have fun and to encourage people to have a more active and healthy lifestyle. Basically you, will begin the race with a white t-shirt; most people like to use tutus, headbands, retro-style socks, wigs and glasses of different colors just to make the run even more fun. Throughout the run you will pass by different stations or color zones where you will be splattered with colorful powder so by the time you finish the 5 kilometers you won’t see any white in you t-shirt! From first-time runners to athletes this run welcomes all kinds of participants. Find when these 5Ks are taking place in your city and register soon!
