Forums >Racing>What the hell is a "5K Foam Fest"
On our local race calendar, there's a 5k called "Drenched in Chocolate". What the hell?
Y'all will likely hate me forever for posting this one, but I just have to take it there. ---- I found a professional runner that the Chocolate race could sponsor! (And I hope you weren't eating chocolate at the time you looked at this photo)...

I asked my undergraduate students about foam parties after seeing this:http://www.medpagetoday.com/Ophthalmology/GeneralOphthalmology/41147
"In 11 cases, ER staff could not test visual acuity in at least one eye because the individual could not open it."
Also, thanks to a few of you for educating me about the lingo. It helps when I'm reading my kids' texts! You were right, Chris, that I should go with my gut.

I tried a few color runs and it was nothing I would ever do again for a few reasons:
a) I'm not big into getting covered with ________ that doesn't naturally occur.
b) I like to know the timing of my run

I'm thinking about contacting the foam people and asking if the course is certified then follow up with some specific questions about a rabies outbreak.

Their reaction to someone showing up and running about 17min was priceless. I might as well have been a unicorn prancing by.

I just checked the website and registration is $65. HOLY SHIT.

So we all need to pitch in if we expect X to "race" this and give us a full report?
X, I'm good for $10 when I see you in Beantown. $15 if when you go sub-3.

I just sent the following to the race organizer. I hope this is the start of a fruitful conversation.
Subject: Important Course Question
Hi,
I know this race is self timed but is the course is certified. You see, I'm considering signing up for multiple FF5kS & want to compare times. This is only possible with certified courses.
Thank You.

Funny, that's how I've always imagined you.

How will they ride the certification bike over the big baller?
I really like the obstacles with videos that look like first pass animations done in Maya.
Their facebook page has 496,000 likes. How is that possible?
