Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: FREE topic! Saturday is April Fools Day – so what better day than to play a prank on the runners in your life 🙂 I’m a huge fan of April Fools Day, not only because it’s my birthday, but because it’s a day to be silly and laugh – two things I enjoy doing in abundance.
Here are a few funny pranks I found online that you can play on runners on April fools Day.
As seen on Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon Series RockNBlog:
Dip Veggies in Chocolate
After a run, why not invite your runner friends over for brunch? After your traditional brunch has been served, treat everyone to ‘dessert’. Your guest will be surprised when their treats are really just chocolate dipped brussel sprouts, radishes, peas and carrots.
As seen on Active.com:
Override their workout playlist with only Michael Bolton tracks
This idea made me LOL. I can’t imagine trying to run to Michael Bolton. Love him dearly, but not for workouts, lol.
Put a fake spider in their pre-workout powder
This would scare the hell out of me. I HATE spiders!
As seen on Podium Runner:
The Water Bottle Swap
Tell your running partner that you will take care of the hydration for this run. Instead of water, put something in their bottle that they would not expect—their least favorite sports drink, iced coffee, milk, etc. If you’re feeling extra devious, wine or beer would be a huge shock, but maybe not unwelcome.
The Race-less Spectator
Head to your local park or running trail with a sign, a cowbell, or just a ton of enthusiasm. Shout encouragement like “You’re almost at the finish!” or “You’re in the lead!” It may confuse your fellow runners and look silly, but everyone appreciates a cheer.
Tell me: Will you do any of these pranks on April Fools Day?

Topic for next week – FREE topic! April 4th is National Vitamin C Day, how do you get your vitamin C?
These are great ones, Kim!
There is one guy on TikTok who runs to fulfil a challenge. On Valentine’s Day, his task was to run until someone would agree to go on a date with him. He did! It was quite hilarious!
I need to find that TikTok account because that sounds hilarious, lol
Ha ha. Great idea for a post. Can’t believe it’s almost April.
No I’ll spare my friends on Saturday
March really did fly by.
These are great, Kim 😉 I think it would be fun to post something fitness-related, like taking up a new sport (swimming for me, LOL) or posting a pic/selfie wearing all the wrong stuff (ill-fitting gear or mismatched shoes or socks). There are a lot of harmless Aprils Fools pranks to have fun with 😉
Those are great ideas Kim!
Haha–those are such fun ideas even when it isn’t April Fool’s day! What a fun idea for a post!
Thanks Wendy! I don’t usually play pranks on anyone but I love reading about them!
Ha! No, I probably won’t be doing any of these, although they’re pretty funny, especially the race-less spectator one. I can just picture the confused looks… you’ll have to let us know if you pull any of these pranks!
Haha me too! I would love to see someone pull off that prank.
Those are good pranks. How about powering off their Garmin so they think it’s dead? 😉
Haha that a god joe about the Garmin!
OMG, these are hilarious! I don’t think I can do any of these because I would be pissed if anyone does these to me. I know, I am not fun at all. 🙂
hahaha same! I usually don’t play pranks on anyone on April Fool’s Day.
