4 Not-To-Miss Races In Amarillo This Summer

Races are a fun way to get in shape and stay active. Whether you run, walk, jog or hop, participating in races benefits your health and happiness. As if that isn’t enough, when you pay to join a race, you help support charity organizations that give back to those in need. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. Interested, but don’t know where to start? Here are four can’t-miss races in Amarillo this summer.  

Insane Inflatable 5k

Just like it sounds, this race features an obstacle course made up of huge inflatables. The organization boasts the largest and most extreme inflatable obstacles in the world. Insane Inflatable 5k gives you the chance to be a kid at heart while challenging your physical ability. Additionally, they’ve partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network Amarillo and will be donating funds gathered through runner donations, a charity wave, and an online fundraising tool. Join the race on May 23.

Blacklight Run

If night races are your thing, then Blacklight Run on June 6 is the event for you. Great for kids and adults of all ages, this 5k run/walk offers fun for the whole family. Participants get covered in UV Neon Glow Powder that gives them a brilliant glow in the Blacklight Zones at the after party. Benefiting Children’s Hospital, this event will certainly be a night to remember.


The Color Run

Commonly known as “The Happiest 5k on the Planet,” The Color Run is an un-timed 5-kilometer race during which colors are thrown on participants at each kilometer. The Color Run is focused on fun and has only two rules: to wear white and to end the race plastered in color.

The Shine Tour – the next generation of The Color Run – is coming to Amarillo June 27 and will benefit the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health.

Color Vibe

Similar to The Color Run, Color Vibe is a 5k run/walk that douses participants with color throughout the race. It, too, is un-timed, so there’s no pressure to finish fast – just have fun with it! As a family-friendly event, kids are invited to participate, and anyone 12 or younger is free. Another fact you may be interested to know is that Color Vibe partners with charities in each of the cities it comes to, meaning that when you register, you support your very own community. The race date has not yet been scheduled.

Check out any – or all – of these races and make the most of your summer. You don’t have to be an avid runner to participate. Just get out, get active, and have fun!
