If you’re someone who thrives on community and being surrounded by other athletes when you work out, you’ll be glad to know that you’re not alone. In fact, thousands of people flock to various fitness events every year—and you can be one of them! If you want a reason to travel or you’re looking for something local, here are three annual events you can attend.
The Color Run
Also known as The Happiest 5K on the Planet, the color run is a yearly 5K run that takes place in cities all over the world. So wherever you are in the world, there’s probably a run you can make it to! The run uses beautiful colored powder to decorate its runners (and those watching) and promotes health and wellness for all.
Zombie Run
The Zombie Run makes real the popular idea that you run faster when you’re running from something—and is a fun way to get your adrenaline going that lets you pretend you’re in an episode of “The Walking Dead”. There are many local zombie runs in different states and countries, so if you have one near you it’s a great event to check out!
Spartan Race
The Spartan Race isn’t just a race, it’s an obstacle course for anyone who wants to challenge themselves to the max. The event comes to various spots internationally and is a great way to meet fellow fitness enthusiasts.
