Hawaii Friends,
Does anyone have connections in local, Kona-side government that could help put the Aloha-Slowdown on permits for TheColorRunTM scheduled for Kona in Sept?
This event just doesn't sit right with me, here's my thoughts:
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS, PLEASE. The packaging of the color powder produces a lot of plastic waste, the powder isn't good to inhale, it takes a lot of water to clean up afterwards, ColorRun is a for-profit company (in Maui ~$8k of a $250k+ take went to charity), and who knows how that much cornstarch and dye impacts our environment and ocean? Our island is colorful enough as it is. It's great that this concept gets ppl excited about running/fitness, but please choose to support other 5k events. Mahalo for your kokua.
