The Flavor Run

Had the best time at the recent race in Orlando! The staff is so friendly and the after party was so much fun. They have a great DJ and a fruit tent for after the run. Packet pick up was so convenient and picking up for your team was super convenient as well. I will absolutely do the next one.

I volunteered at the first ever Flavor Run 5K. This race was very similar to The Color Run with some key differences that make it worth the money. There were medals, and with an interesting twist, the colored powder was flavored. Runners could also volunteer to be Flavor Fairies which meant, along with running the 5K, they could chase people through the «enchanted forest» and get them with color there.
Before the Race
Runners and volunteers received a gray t-​shirt. People could also buy Hawaiian lays, neon sunglasses, and white t-​shirts. Volunteers who were throwing color powder at the stations also received a bandana to cover their nose and mouth.
During the Race
I was at the Flavor Fairy station handing out wings. By the end end of the race, I was covered in glitter like a day walking stripper.
Runners who crossed the finish got a free towel to wipe the massive amounts of color from their faces.
After the Race
The free post race food was fresh fruit from Whole Foods. There was a live cover band. Runners could also buy carnival food and beer.
In the end, I had a blast just as a volunteer. I am excited to see what it’s like as a runner.

The best 5k I have ever been a part of. Friendly staff, quality music, and a great party after the run. Love the series of medals included with the entry. Grape medal, Strawberry medal, and soon to be banana medal. Cheers.
