Amazing Races- Family Fun

  With all of the different kinds of races out there, I thought it would be useful to have a list based on theme and length. You can even plan a year-long fitness theme around attending all different types of runs in your area, or all of the same type of runs around the country. Get out and get your cardio on in style!

Paint and color runs

Color Run
: 5k where you get packets of powder paint dumped on you while you run! Its a blast and the proceeds go to various charities. Happens all over the US throughout the year and is known as the "happiest 5k on the planet".


Color Me Rad: 5k with tons of color and vibrant paints everywhere while you run.

Zombie runs
Zombie run: 5k obstacle course where you act as either a zombie or survivor during the race and run for your life! Sound like too much fun?

Tough runs
Spartan Race: an obstacle course with options of 3 mile or 8 mile challenges. For the tough and rugged, this is a blast, but it does include cold water and electric shock!

Tough Mudder: A hard-core obstacle course to test your strength and stamina. Course is over 10  miles and keeps you guessing.

Mud run: A shorter obstacle run, but with all the fun of running through mud courses.

Hero Rush: Live out your dreams of being a firefighter! 4 miles of mud running and training.

Other themes

Foam Festival: 5k run that is a giant foam party! Check out

Livingsocial Dance Party: 5k with music and fun! Check out  for more details.

Superhero half marathon: A half marathon where people feel, look, and act like their favorite superheroes! This sounds like a blast. 

Run Disney: A marathon at Disneyland?? I can't think of anything more happy than ending a 26 mile race surrounded by Disney characters!

Undie run: A run for charity that happens at college campuses all over the country!

Have any more that you want to add/ really recommend? Let us know in a comment :)


***Post in honor of my Aunt completing her
first half marathon this weekend! I am so proud of her and her accomplishments :)
