Dean’s Messy 5K Color Run

0

Dean’s Messy Mission Run is a fun, non-competitive 5K run/walk/crawl. Participants are given a white shirt and bandanna that is “colored” with a washable, cornstarch-based powder that is thrown on them throughout the course ending with two beautiful tie-dyed articles of clothing! There’s a $25 registration fee and all proceeds benefit the Zionsville Presbyterian Church’s High School Mexico Caravan trip and Shepherd Community Center. The run will take place at Zionsville Rail Trail/Nancy Burton Park on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

Protect yourself: From the beginning of the run to well after you cross the finish line, there is colored powder coming at you from every direction. Protect your eyes and mouth with a pair of sunglasses and bandanna, and make sure to keep any valuables sealed in plastic bags — especially cameras and phones. If you don’t want to be completely doused in powder, stay in the middle of the lane when going through a color station.

Bring a buddy: This is definitely a fun run dominated by costumed teams, groups of friends and families. Because of Dean’s Messy Mission Color Run’s party element and the absence of a timed race, its one event that is better enjoyed with friends.

The cleanup: It may only be colored corn starch, but the powder can still stain clothing. First off, do not wear anything that you’ll be upset to lose. While the colored powder may come out in the wash, there’s a good chance it won’t depending on how much it has set. Plan on giving yourself a good scrub in the shower once it’s over, and if you have blond hair you may want to save yourself the hassle by just wearing a hat during the run. You might want to bring a towel (or change of clothes) if your car has light-colored seats.
