Bubble Run, August 9, 2014

GOOD CLEAN RUN

Who knew that getting covered with colored foam every half-mile could be so therapeutic? The Bubble Run was a 5k of frothy goodness that made my face hurt from perma-smile. I participated in an event where the most competitive aspect was comparing smiles and amounts of foam still clinging to me post race.

Are you living in a bubble?

If you’ve done a traditional 5K, you know they can be a bit lackluster. But the BUBBLE RUN was like running through Willy Wonkas’ factory. Clad in white t-shirts, participants ran, walked, danced, and played across 3 miles of absolute fun! At each kilometer, participants ran through the Foam Bogs where there was enough colored foam to cover you from head to toe! Each of the four Foam Bogs were represented by different colored foam.  So what if you should accidentally “taste the whimsey?” It did not taste as great as it was fun, but not to worry, the foam was 100% safe.

What does living in a bubble feel like?

Like a giant, effervescent party. The race itself was amazing, but once we crossed the finish line, there was still plenty of excitement and activity. You could jam out and dance to the DJ’s, get some free swag, and get ready to get a serious dose of extra foam! Then strut around like a peacock sporting your boss finisher’s status.  Or perhaps you simply want to chill and take in the sight. Believe me, you’ve never seen anything like this.
