$20 for Entry to Color Me Rad 5K on Saturday, March 30 (Up to $40 Value)

Adorned in white T-shirts, runners convene at Reliant Park on Saturday, March 30, for the Color Me Rad 5K race. Racers can run headlong toward newly vibrant exteriors in waves that start at 9 a.m. and leave every five minutes thereafter at the course, which eventually weaves around the Astrodome. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics of Texas.

Color Me Rad

Color Me Rad stages 5K races that transform runners into mobile rainbows by launching cheerful barrages of colored cornstarch. Each color station along the racetrack flings a new, nontoxic pigment at passersby, who wear white shirts to enhance the chromatic onslaught's costuming effects. Brilliant neon-blue, green, purple, and yellow clouds dapple participants along the way, and the race concludes with a prismatic finish-line finale as sprinters chuck colors at each other in celebration. The race's noncompetitive credo shifts the emphasis from speed to silliness, and a portion of its proceeds go to local charities.

Upon registration, each runner collects a Color Me Rad T-shirt, sunglasses, sponsor gifts, and a race bib. Though they don't receive a gift packet, runners younger than 8 years old can sprint for free, provided they have a waiver signed by a guardian and won't give in to demands for gold from confused leprechauns.

The Groupon Guide to: Minimizing Distractions

It’s easy to get distracted from what you’re doing, whether you’re writing an important essay, solving a mathematical proof, or crafting the perfect speech to explain spaying to your dog. Here are some sure-fire ways to minimize distractions and get the job done:

  • Turn off the TV.
  • Hide your video games.
  • Put the TV in a big box so you won’t look at it and imagine which of your favorite shows might be on.
  • Replace the box with a casket. TV is dead.
  • Burn your books: they’re just written TV.
  • Ask your roommate to move out if his life story is distractingly similar to that of classic TV character Mr. Simpson.
  • Close all the doors and windows so you don’t have to hear all the TVs driving down your street.
  • Imagine you’re on a TV show where you’ll win a million dollars if you don’t get distracted. Turn your TV back on so you can watch yourself on TV. Forget about what you were working on before; you’re a TV star now and you don’t have to do anything.

What is Mr. Simpson’s catch phrase?
