Feel like staying active but getting bored of running aimlessly around the block? Check out a few of this week’s NYC events for those that want to get out, have some fun and keep in shape at the same time.

Color Run 5K – Citi Field – May 23^rd

It’s time once again to get covered in vibrant colors while making a 5K dash through Citi Field. The Color Run is a tradition that takes place all over, though New York does it with personal flair. Better yet, when you’re all done with the run you can kick back at the start line and experience music, dancing and more.

5^th Annual International Campagnolo Gran Fondo NY 2015 – GeorgeWashingtonBridge – May 17^th

For those who wish to experience the glory of cycling an intense race but consider themselves to be amateurs, this event is perfect. Make the trek from NYC to Bear Mountain, a 100-mile course that will test the limits of your endurance. Or if you’re not up to that challenge, there’s also a 50-mile version where you can get a ride back to the starting line once you make it half-way.
