It was JoAnn but remember to keep your mouth shut when they throw the paint - it does not taste nice!!!!!!

My niece did this 2 years ago and believe me the paint is NOT water soluble. It took her days to try and get the paint off. And it is in powder form.

I think it's supposed to be water soluble but it's not I had a kitchen scouring sponge and it still won't come off!!! I have most of it off now but I have a lovely pink patch on the inside of my elbow that looks like I've been scalded!!!

Thanks everyone I felt like it was a big thing for me I had to share!!!!

Reminds me of that Hindu festival (Holi, I think?) where they throw brightly colored powdered paint all over each other. Looks like a ton of fun.

Thanks guys!!!!!!

I'm so pleased I did it however trying to get out of bed this morning was a challenge as it would appear every bone in my body decided not to co-operate with me this morning!!!! - still worth it though!

I would strongly recommend it to anybody its such good fun but take sunglasses with you as that powder gets everywhere!!!!!!! haha

Congrats on running the 5k!! We actually had a Color Run in my state this weekend too.. I didn't participate but I had a bunch of friends who did. I did one last year and it is definitely a good time. And an easy race for non runners. I love it !
