Only in Bucks County: Color Fun 5K Run

    
Cross another one off the bucket list! 

I really didn't want to have to go into Philadelphia to do my first Color Run, so I was thrilled to find one nearby in Morrisville, Bucks County. On May 22, 2016 eight of us participated in the Color Fun Run. We were spread out over three generations actually... and as odd as this sounds to me, I was officially in the "grandparents" category.

We had a blast! A very colorful blast. The ColorFun 5K Run was an extremely well organized run/fast paced walk throughout a scenic residential area of  Morrisville. Even on an overcast day, the turnout was great. I had way more fun than I had imagined. It will definitely become an annual event!

And all of this colorful fun was for a good cause too. The ColorFun 5K Run/Walk was designed to raise money for Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania to travel the world and to help girl scouts who are traveling abroad this summer. The date for the 2017 Color Fun Run is already set and I hope to see you there.

Only in Bucks County: 5th Annual Uncle Dave’s Ice Cream Jog ‘n Hog

 There's an event that I photograph every July that's so unique I can't find my own words to describe it. It's called Jog 'n Hog, and runners from all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey gather to run two miles, stop and hog down an entire quart of ice cream, then take off and run another two miles. Some wear tutus. Some wear pig costumes. Others bring sprinkles and syrup. Registration begins today!

Here is some information straight from the Jog n' Hog website, since they say it best:

 "The third Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day. Some people celebrate by going to the local ice cream stand and maybe getting a free one-scoop cone. Here at Jog ‘n Hog, we’ve supersized the celebration. Coming back for its fifth installment, the Uncle Dave’s Ice Cream Jog ‘n Hog will take place on Sunday July 17, 2016. Over the past four years we have served over 200 gallons of Uncle Dave’s finest vanilla ice cream, which comes out to over 1.3 million calories!

The gastrointestinally brave can register in the “Whole Hogger Division,” which involves eating one quart of ice cream at the race’s halfway point. Those who are less confident in their eating ability can register in the “Half Hogger Division,” which involves eating one pint of ice cream."

Here are some of my photos from Jog n' Hog 2015. Will I see you at Jog n' Hog 2016?

        

Girls just wanna have fun!

So do the guys.

If you want to PIG OUT like these ladies did, you can find more information

 and a link to register for Jog n' Hog here. The race takes place at Shady Brook Farm in Yardley, PA and features Uncle Daves Homemade Ice Cream's number one seller, Vanilla Beanie.
