I just shared with you all last week on my #FitList14 that one of my goals was to Incorporate more active fellowshipping opportunities with friends and family.
This is the perfect opportunity! Run or Dye is coming to Macon Middle Ga! I invite those of you who are local to come join me!
You can register here for the race and take advantage of the promo code on the graphic for $10 off, special for Rx Fitness Lady readers, WHOOP WHOOP!
What is Run or Dye? You probably guessed from the picture right?
THE WORLD’S MOST COLORFUL 5K!
You get showered in safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered dye at every kilometer! When you cross the finish line, apparently it gets real!!! Be prepared for the Finish Festival! Complete with a color storm!
Say what now? I know what you’re all thinking!
WHAT ABOUT HER HAIR??? 🙂 😉
Seriously, I have that covered…literally! Black women, If you want to know how to protect your hair while working out, hop over to one of my most popular posts on Haircare. If I’m game, surely you can participate too.
Who’s It For?
Hope and Allie are probably tickled “pink” (inserts lame run or dye humor) at this here revelation. I am always sharing with them how in awe I am of all the runs they manage to participate in.
I usually only do runs on special occasions. This is a special occasion because it brings together all kinds of people; beginners and advanced runners. You can walk, run, skip, or dance your way to the finish line.
I’m going to invite my book club to do this as a fellowshipping opportunity! We just had an amazing retreat, post forthcoming 🙂 !
Did I mention it’s family friendly? Kids 6 and under participate for FREE!
This race is not timed! For those who are marathon runners, your stop watch will have to do.
What to wear?
White will bring out the color the most but it’s totally up to you. You can wear costumes or an old wedding dress! The dye is washable, but of course wear something that you don’t mind getting colored. Be creative!
How to Participate
Macon Middle Ga participants be sure to take advantage of the promo code: MACONBLOG ahead of time to get $10 off when you register.
For all of my lovelies that aren’t in the area, take a look here to see when Run or Dye is coming to a city near you!
To stay up to date with Run or Dye, like them on Facebook and be sure to follow the Rx Fitness Lady Facebook page as well. You know I’ll be sharing pictures from this exciting day.
Full disclosure – Rx Fitness Lady has partnered with Run or Dye to bring you this content and I could be compensated for use of the promo code.
OAN – 101 Years ago today, the greatest sorority in the land was founded on the campus of Howard University ;)! Feel free to help us celebrate!

I keep meaning to participate in one of these, but the thought of all of that color in my locs……

I did it. It was so much fun. An experience that I would recommend for anyone, runner or not!! Protect that hair girl!! I managed to keep mine cover pretty tightly. I hope do to another one this year (just not in 90 degree heat!)

You know the hair will be on lock!
I’ve never done one before… now that I have NO hair, I wouldn’t even worry about it, but I remember Nellie did one and just covered it all up.
Given that my wedding dress is still in a bag uncleaned… I probably should just do a run in it, but I know I couldn’t. 1. Because my dress is not run-able. 2. It would be waaaay too hot if I was able to run in it. 3. It still holds value emotionally & monetarily.

I am tickled PINK for sure!!! I love this and I so wish I could run it with you. Can’t wait to read all about it. Go Joi!!!!
Allie recently posted…The Rundown – Link Up!
How fun!! I’ve never done a color race. I would probably actually buy something to wear! Lol! I just don’t keep a lot of clothes around that I don’t wear since we have really limited space in our apt!

I’ve seen these color runs and I think it’s great that you’re inviting friends/family to participate with you! I’ve never participated any race, but maybe one day I would do something with my sissy!
I am tickled that it’s safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered dye! I’ve heard of something called a “Color Run” that I think Nellie does? Or she does something like that. My sister does mud runs. Sign me up for something more colorful than that!

There’s a Run or Dye in my hometown, Baton Rouge. If I did it, I would probably do it with my cousin. She did the 5K with me in New Orleans and she’s done the Run or Dye. I would wear all white like you said to make the colors stand out. My cousin wore a tutu when she did it. LOL

WhoooHooo!!! Can’t wait to see the before and after pictures. I’ve done the Color Run and it was the most fun running experience I’ve ever had! And I was so NOT creative…but I did dawn all white and at the last minute removed my head covering 🙂 Wish I was local just to hang…
Congrats on 101 years. What an awesome heritage and legacy to be a part of.
Hope recently posted…Mommy, I’m done! Can you come wipe…
Thank you so much Hope!
I saw this on someone else website and thought it was so fun to do. My hair would be my biggest problem but if I can tie it down good I might be game to do at least one mile see I am doing better.
Kita recently posted…Project 365
I haven’t done one of these, but I could see myself trying it. I will probably never do a mud run because I am not into electric wires or cold ponds! LOL Can’t wait to see your pictures!
Michelle recently posted…Meet ‘Em Mondays
How fun!!! I’ve never done one but I think it would be fun with my boys!
I don’t think I can make it to Georgia but I can send you my dress – you could run in it and then it would be sort of like I’m there!!!
Kim recently posted…Great Weekend Reads
Sounds like fun…for somebody else. Not worried about the hair. Natural sister here. I just wouldn’t want paint all over me. I know I’m an artist, but I like to control the paint flow. Rather be the sprayer than the one who gets sprayed. lol

You so pretty, lol!
I’ve heard of this and other colored runs. They always looked like a lot of fun to me, unfortunatley I missed all the runs in the local area last year. Maybe this fall? Best of luck in your run. I wish I was in GA so I could participate with you!
Leslie recently posted…Full On Toddler Mode
This looks like a lot if fun. I should check to see if they are coming to my area. Hmm, come to think on it I think they did a few months ago. We saw these runners covered in paint and I wondered what that was about. Hahaha, now I get it. I hope everyone who signs up has a blast!
KalleyC recently posted…Epic Windchill and a Vlog!
I’m such a lame! I don’t want to get “dirty”. hehe. And I’m not even a girly-girl. I’m just being lame, that’s all. 😉

Is that a picture of your mom? You guys are so cute! Joi, this sounds like a fun event to do with a group of friends for sure! Too bad I’m preggers and several states over! I hope you have a great time! This sounds like my sort of way to get into a 5K. Just running it I don’t think is for me. 🙂
Brittnei recently posted…Transferring from Blogger to WordPress
YEP! That’s mother dearest! Thanks Brittnei!
I think this sounds like a fun run and I like that it’s not timed. Sometimes you need to do something just for the fun of it. There is one in March here in STL so I’m going to have to see if I can get some people together!
Dang am I the only person that’s going to say, No. No. No. & No? I guess so.
Well I guess if there was a walk or dye, I’d participate with my mom and we’d both have shower caps in secured with duct tape.
Kenya G. Johnson recently posted…Whose Science Project Is It Anyway?
You can walk it boo!
I would have participated Joi, but wouldn’t you know it…I checked to see if they were coming to Columbia, but unfortunately they’re not…shucks! 😀 So I’ll be cheering you all on from the “virtual” sideline! Happy Birthday to you and your sorors. My husband shared his birthday with his fraternity last week, so he was pretty geeked about that. 😉 Have a great rest of your weekend!
Michell recently posted…Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #45 and an $850 cash giveaway!!
That sounds like so much fun! And I love that picture of you and your mom, you two pretty ladies looks like sisters! 😀
