Bay Area Runners

Color Me Rad 5K San Jose

September 1, 2012 · 9:00 AM
Santa Clara County Fairgrounds

Lets do this fun 5K event together. Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you'll coat your chaffing thighs with blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body comes out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side.

Each section of the run adds a new explosion of color to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of color.

Outfit - Plain white t-shirts/tank tops w/black botoms and plain white knee high socks!!

Below is the pricing information.

Loyalty Registration - $30.00 Deadline - 4/6/2012

Early Bird Reg - $35.00 Deadline - 5/11/2012

Regular Registration - $40.00 Deadline - 6/22/2012

Hope all of you can join the team for the run in San Jose on September 1st. Thanks for setting up the team Marcia!

Team name: "Rainbow Warriors"

Captain Last Name: "Duong"

Wave start time: 9AM

**Carpool Information** I know this is a local race but if folks want to meet for carpool so that it will be easier to find folks also I am not sure if they will charge for parking either.

Meet at Sports Basement in Sunnyvale at 7:00am for carpooling. From there we will break out into cars. Please update your RSVP if you are planning on meeting for carpool. We will promtly leave at 7:15am.

**Post run social** We will be meeting up for lunch at Johnny Garlic's. Address is 101 Curtner Avenue. San Jose, CA 95125 They are only .8 of a mile from the race. Please update your RSVP if you are planning on joining us for lunch. Unfortunately, they do not accept reservations but I spoke with them and they said even though with a large group, if we arrive at 11am, we should be okay. Here is a link to their site. www.johnnygarlics.com

I promise this is my last question Marcia...and I read everything above before I am asking this time...so what time should we meet at the Fairgrounds before our wave? Since you are leaving SB at 7:15, I imagine you will be there by 8:15? Is that when you want us there?

  Yes! Let's try to meet up for group photos at 8:30. I'm not really sure of a meeting location since this is the first time for most, if not all of us. I'm hoping that we would be able to find each other. Any suggestions on a meeting spot for those that are meeting us there?

What do we wear to this event? Do we need to get white t-shirts or something?

  White t-shirts make it fun because then they end up all colourful by the end. I'd recommend a change of clothes for after, and a towel to cover the seats!

I live down the peninsula in South San Francisco. Would someone mind picking up my packet for me to save me the drive? I have no other reason to drive down to Sunnyvale on Thursday or Friday this week.

I just looked at the pre-race instructions for the SD race and it appears that they provide sunglasses. So I won't order these after all.

Hey Guys, Looking at getting these instead. I will have to order them and they only sell them by the dozen. Would you guys be willing to pay $3-$5 for them? I don't want to end up with a dozen of these things! LOL!! Not sure of the total price but it's $19.52 for a dozen plus shipping and hadling. Please let me know so I can place the order so we can have them in time.

  Whatever you decide, I will take 3. These look like it will be easier to see from, which is a PLUS.

Looking into getting these for our group. Let me know if you want me to pick you up a pair. I'm also probably going to pick up some tube socks.
