Living in Playa del Carmen is becoming more and more fun every day!\u00a0 Aside from the fact that you get to wake up to gorgeous weather and scenery every day there are always so many options of things to do!\u00a0 When you are living in Playa del Carmen<\/a> there is almost no reason to stay indoors and watch TV!<\/p>\n

This past Sunday was an event in Playa del Carmen like I have never seen before.\u00a0 The Coloreate 5k Race was not just an everyday road race but a party full of fun and lots and lots of color!<\/p>\n

I would like to highlight something incredibly special about this Playa del Carmen running event.\u00a0 This occasion was not just for runners, it was an event that brought the entire community together to interact with each other!\u00a0 It didn\u2019t matter the age or athletic abilities, everyone could join in!<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like to run, its ok, perhaps you walked or you were there to be a cheerleader for a friend.\u00a0 But in the end of the race everyone came together to the Municipal Palace in Playa for a huge party with music, and dancing, and COLOR!!!<\/p>\n

Race contestants were greeted by some very energetic and crowd pleasing hosts from Pirata Radio, in Playa del Carmen<\/a>, who started everyone off with a great pre-race party including upbeat music, and even a warm up routine.<\/p>\n

Then it was time to go!\u00a0 The route starting from the Municipal Plaza down 20th<\/sup> Avenue, down Constituyentes, through to 10th<\/sup> and then looped around to CTM to 5th<\/sup> Ave and then up 8th<\/sup> Street to finish back at the Plaza.<\/p>\n

Throughout the entire route, volunteers were throwing handfuls and buckets of non-toxic, sweet flavored powdered color which in the end left each runner with a massive tie dye effect.<\/p>\n

Once crossing the finish line everyone was greeted by a spirited party, and given packets of the same color powder, which would be used later to throw in to the air creating a massive storm of color in the Municipal Plaza!<\/p>\n

But before that our fantastic hosts from Pirata Radio got the whole crowd excited with music, dance contests and even a show given by an amazing 11 year old girl who put on an exceptional performance showing us the brilliant art of belly dance.<\/p>\n

At the end, the crowd got pumped with upbeat music, and all at once everyone threw packets of powdered color creating a sweeping color cloud all through the Municipal Plaza!\u00a0 It was invigorating, exciting and something that I\u2019ve never seen before.\u00a0 What an imaginative and cultivate way to bring a community together!<\/p>\n

This idea of a radiant storm of color started off a as a tradition in India and has been picked up all over the world, and it\u2019s no wonder why!<\/p>\n

If you missed this fun colorful event you are in luck!\u00a0 The race will be repeated on March 3rd<\/sup> at 3 pm in Cozumel, to coincide with the famous Cozumel Carnival!<\/p>\n
