      Hey there! My friends and I are doing the Run or Dye 5k race and we were looking for a name. We are all girls and we are from Atlanta. This race is all about COLOR and us being hit with that color. lol. Could you help?

      Hey everyone,

      These electric runs look like a lot of fun. As do the color runs.

      I’ll reach out with a few name ideas later today. If anyone has anything creative they’d like to share, please comment below!

      For color runs: One of my favorites I’ve seen by our customers is “Crayola Crew”. “Rainbow Brites” could be good to emphasize color too.

      And “Do or Dye”, “Live & Let Dye”, “Ride or Dye”, and “Dye, Dye Birdie” are all fun play on words from song titles.

      For electric runs: “Bright Lights Big City” was the first one I thought of. “Shine Bright Like a Diamond”, AC/DC, and “The Electric Express” could be good names based off songs and bands. I just found out doing some research that the Electric Express released a cool funky song in 1971. Funtimes. 🙂

      We are doing the Color Me Rad race and can’t think of a fun name. We are not runners! Always wondered why anyone would run unless chased. Running with my 17 year old dancer daughter and her 18 year old boyfriend as well as a girlfriend of mine who needed this run for inspiration. (I am 41 she is 35) What I won’t do for my friends! Help!!
