Run or Dye Dover

This Saturday’s race was a complete success!  I picked my friend Janet up and off we went to Dover for our first Run or Dye 5K. 

First off let me say that there were an obscene amount of people there! Holy Cow. I believe they said somewhere around 7000 people participated in the race. The proceeds from the event go to the Boys and Girls club of America, so it’s a good cause!

Here is a before shot

I have a couple more really cool photos that I’d like to share. 

Here I am about ½ way through the race….not to messy yet!

 

Of course Janet and I needed a drink after the race –

 

 

And they do this dye bomb where everything throws their dye up in the air at the same time…which was so cool to be apart of, although I like couldn’t breathe for a minute!

 

 

Also race etiquette: don’t smoke at the finish line, I have no desire to inhale your smoke, ever.

Also, if you’re walking a race move out of the way so the runners can run! I swear I ran in zig zags the entire time.  I actually overheard a lady telling her friend that you’re not really supposed to RUN the Run or Dye, it’s a walking event…but some very young girls like to run it. Um no, it’s called Run or Dye, not Walk or Dye?

Next time this is in your area I highly suggest you participate. I wish I would have brought my niece with me because there were a lot of young kids there and they loved it.  The dye is all organic and washes off so you don’t need to worry about it harming you or your munchkins.
