The fact paint bombs are set off before the run makes me wonder why someone hasn't taken advantage of that and gone all Boston Marathon on one of these runs.

after all the charity runs took off in the 90s, companies realized runners tend to have tons of disposable income and a bizarre compulsion to travel halfway across the country every weekend to jog for a couple hours, and hosting races is super cheap compared to other sports

White doesnt mean anything other than a skin colour. Europe is a diverse place with diverse ethnic groups and its colonies created diverse cultures.

Is it possible to dye jizz before it leaves the body? I need to know to see if my Color Run bukkake porn parody Color Cum is going to be feasible or not

I imagine it would just be a matter of getting the dye up there.

Except in the US where being from another culture is secondary to being white or not being white. Do they have these retarded "color runs" in Europe?

Actually, over 500 people were injured after colored corn starch (which is what is used in color runs) exploded over a crowd at a concert in Taipei this weekend. Investigations are underway, but it appears to just be a freak accident... In any case, I had no idea corn starch was so flammable until this happened. Surprised there haven't been major accidents in India or the US.

I find that most people that are into color runs are also really into yoga, no idea why though.

are the same thing!

There was a colour run here a few weeks back. The runners were barred from public transport because the dust could stain the seats or at very least require a bunch of cleanup. This allowed newspapers to all use the headline "Colored people banned from busses".

Personally I would allowed them on busses as long as they sat in the back.

I'd been thinking aw, this thing sounds kinda fun, even though it's Holi with running ("how do we make this super white? ah, I know, make it into a 5k"). But this video is the worst loving thing.

i got tricked into doing a color run once and it was the lamest most bullshit thing in the world

like if I ran up to you out of nowhere and punched you in the nuts you'd be like "whoa hold on, this is some bullshit" and I'd reply "nah dude, color runs are way more bullshit than this" and then you'd be like "thanks QuarkJets you're right, please take your time pleasuring my wife"

They do but they're actually called Rainbow Parties and you should post on craigslist that you're a first timer looking to be shown the ropes.

My thought exactly, especially since you're doing some physical effort and breathing a lot. We'll probably find out in a few months that the cheap chinese poo poo they're using has tons of lead too

All the color run participants I know are Chinese-Americans. Most of them agreed, in retrospect, that it was stupid. They were just running around a shadeless field while getting poofed with corn starch. Not something worth paying for.

Gimmick runs are interesting in theory, though. I'm not going to mock people for having fun. The zombie runs sound genuinely cool - you're running while trying to avoid zombies. Sounds like a fun game.
