MB Color Run

Nearly 3,000 participants and over 200 volunteers gathered bright and early at Broadway at the Beach for the Happiest 5K on the Planet! And as all things LGS, the event was for a good cause; part of the proceeds went to SOS Autism Healthcare.

8 LGSers were on hand to assist with the fun. Our job for the day was working the color zones (individual color stations setup along the course), throwing colored powder at the runners as they came through. If we weren’t having fun, they wouldn’t have fun either and we definitely delivered on our commitment!

The majority of us were stationed at the yellow zone and it was such a blast to experience this out-of-the-box marathon style. We were covered head to toe in yellow as we threw endless amounts of color on not only the runners but on ourselves as well.  When all was said and done, each station was cleaned up as if nothing happened in under 20 minutes; considering the mess we made, the was a pretty amazing feat.

After the run, there was a huge after party in the parking lot with a live DJ pumping up the crowd and the audience throwing bags of colored powder in the air constantly. It was incredible to see 3,000 people so energetic and happy that early in the morning. This marathon truly is one of a kind and kudos must be given to their staff for producing such a well-oiled machine.
