The Color Vibe once again hit Akron, Ohio this year. This time in a different part of the city than last year. I was a little worried that I may not get the shots I was looking for from year prior, considering the race and color stations were spread far apart, making it impossible to visit them all. So I looked over the race map for this year and decided dedicate myself to the last color station. The area was nestled into the park of Lock 3 by the towpath, close to the finish line. So if you're wondering what color station I found myself at, lets just say there's a particular song by Aerosmith that will give it away. ;)
I've had this date marked down in my calendar since last December since the Color Vibe ALWAYS have the best 5k's out of the other color runs. This one didn't disappoint and the shots were easily my favorite out of them all.
After the runners crossed the finish line, they were welcomed to gather around the Lock 3 stage for music, color throws, and prizes. 'DJ Street' was the DJ in charge to make sure everyone was having a good time. And yes, we was outstanding!

Since this was my third color run event, I again wrapped the gear in saran wrap for added layer of protection from the color powder. If you would like to know how I did this, visit my post from the 'Color Me RAD' I also shot.
