Here’s a great list of 5k’s coming to Cincinnati (or at least close to). I will be adding more as I find them, and they get dates set.Hope to see you there!
Color Me Rad – Color Me Rad will be in Cincinnati on May 17, 2014. If you’ve never participated in a color run, here’s your chance. Color Me Rad also donates some of its proceeds to a local charity, so here’s your chance to have fun and contribute to your city!
The Color Run – August 2, 2014 The Color Run will be in downtown Cincinnati! Proceeds will benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Neon Vibe – no dates as of yet for Cincinnati/Dayton. This is unique 5k, as it’s done at DARK with black lights to show off your crazy color!
The Tough Mudder – not for the faint of heart, the Tough Mudder not only tests your physical capabilities, but your mental as well. Though I didn’t complete the KY 2013 Tough Mudder, my plans are to complete it for 2014. Kentucky dates are not yet posted, but Ohio’s Tough Mudder will be in Mansfield Ohio (about 3 hours from Cincy) on May 17th & 18th, 2014.
Color Me Pink – one of my favorite charity runs, Color Me Pink for the Susan G. Koman foundation, the Color Me Pink 5k is a fun color run – made entirely of PINK! No dates are set for this one, but I will definitely keep you updated as soon as I hear back from them!
The Cincinnati Color Palooza – Saturday June 29, 2014 at 10 a.m. Downtown Cincinnati Corner of Race St. & West Freedom Way – Color Palooza benefits Susan G. Koman foundation – this run is in place of the Color Me Pink for 2014.
