Very Disappointed in the Color Run... (Read 125 times)

Daves_Not_Here


    My granddaughter, ever since she saw the video, has been wanting to do a color run with me. We had it planned for Sacramento a couple of months ago, but that got cancelled due to a family reunion back in Ohio where her Mom had to take her. OK...I'll just register us for San Francisco at the end of this month.

     

    Wrong...

     

    Now I see this...

    "

    **NEW SPRING DATE** 

    The No. 1 ranked US National Soccer Team is coming to Candlestick Park! Unfortunately, it is the same weekend we had secured for The Color Run San Francisco. Candlestick Park has pulled our permit for the weekend of October 25th-27th for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer game against New Zealand. http://j.mp/USWNationalTeam"

     

    Really? Seriously????

     

    I don't have the heart to tell her that "our" run has been postponed once again. Looks as if the next event we go to will be Disney, but had I known this, I would've entered her and I in the "fun run" prior to the 10K I'm running for her....Damn. Sad

     

    Sorry for the rant. I just love my baby girl and we like to do stuff like this together.

          San Diego is about an 8 hour drive from Sacremento, no?

            It's a long drive and not practical for a 5k run. We were looking forward to this and now it's postponed until March of next year.

              It's really too bad... Isn't there a Halloween theme run you could do with her soon? You as the big bad wolf and her as Little Red Riding Hood, maybe? Smile Or you as the grandma would be funny too. Big grin

                        ColorDash is another one to possible search - they are coming to our community this month (Midwest, though).

                        20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.

                          Thanks. I'll check it out. Both destinations are within 2 to 3 hours, so that's "doable". Muchas gracias. Smile
