The actual event was very awesome, planned out well, colorful of course, there was music playing, everyone (the runners and race organizers) was very friendly and happy which created a great atmosphere. My favorite part of the race had to be just spending it with some of my friends and also crossing the finish line with all all the other people that had finished as well and properly celebrating it right there with music and of course the throwing of colored powder, which looked incredible. I would like to do it again and am hoping to do the one coming up in July, in Brooklyn, hopefully get some more people into it. All and all i think the color run was a great idea to do as a group, and the message behind it is so much more meaningful, just knowing that it promotes healthy living around the world, and supports charities is a wonderful accomplishment, not to mention all the smiles it generates. I definitely encourage other people to try t out, at least once.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #008080\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2148\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/lie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2014\/06\/IMAG2068.jpg\" alt=\"IMAG2068\" width=\"125\" height=\"248\" \/>Corinna a German au pair living in Huntington added, &#8220;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #008080\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\"> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff00ff\">The color run was so much fun.
