Yinova Took Part in The Color Run!

Once we got out to the field, it felt great to be out in the open and not surrounded by towering skyscrapers. The sun was shining through the clouds and there was a faint autumn breeze, it was a beautiful morning! Decked in our brilliant white t-shirts (which did not stay white for long, I might add!) we started the 3.1 miles run a little after 9 am. Throughout the race there were stations that you had to pass through and these stations were each designated a color, so by the end of the race you were covered in layers, the first blue then yellow, and so on! The pink station was really fun, and the people spraying us with the cornstarch in that stain really went wild with it in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

There were people of all ages, kids, teens, adults -some running, some strolling along having a good time. This race is definitely less about how fast you can run, and much more about enjoying the company of others and having a great time.

It was so lovely to see so many people out with friends and family. Everyone was smiling ear to ear, it really did feel like the happiest 5k on earth! By 9:30, as we were finishing the race, our t-shirts definitely looked more colorful. Once the race was over, everyone each given their own small packs of color. We then made our way to the dance floor – an odd thing to find yourself on at 10 o clock in the morning! Everyone was dancing and throwing their color packs around!
