Run or Dye!

Ever since Scott ran in the mud run a few weeks ago, Tyson has been itching to be able to run a race with his dad!  It just so happened that the Run or Dye was being held in Rapid City, so Scott and Tyson signed right up and counted down the days until the big day!  Tyson was so excited to get his running shoes on! :)

 

Before the color started flyin!

 They each received a color packet in their registration bag, and they wasted no time in "coloring" each other before the start of the race!

As you can see...they had pink and orange:)

Tyson's looking a little suspicious!

Waiting for the "start"

Grandma Brenda came up to cheer on the boys as well as Aunt Marla and Mason and Cooper, so we had quite the cheering section!  Aiden and I decided to cheer for this one...maybe the next one we can all do as a family!

showing off his "ninja" moves...and blue tongue!

And they're off!!

They ran through a wall of pink dust right out of the starting gate

making it through the "blue" station....Tyson is hiding behind the guy with the pink headband

rounding the corner to the finish line

Woohoo team Dunbar!!!

Great race...we are so proud of you!

 After the racers finished they had a "dye festival" where the racers could celebrate, and they threw out more dye packets into the crowd.  Every 15 minutes or so they would "color the sky" and do a big countdown...then everyone would throw their dye into the air...it was pretty cool!

getting ready for the big countdown

Tyson and Scott are in the middle of all that mess!

Getting an "atta boy" from Dad! 

The 2 athletes and their 2 biggest fans!

 

 There were around 5,000 people who did the race, and Scott and Tyson had a lot of fun being able to do it together!  We are hoping they have it again in the next couple of years so we can all do it together!  Great job Dad and Tyson...we are very proud of you both!
