OHHH MYY this looks incredible !!! If you’re considering running 5K for charity this summer then stop where you are right now and read on!
The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique color race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community. Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometre, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometre. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more colored powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet! With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow:
- Wear white at the starting line
- Finish plastered in color
Now the single largest event series on the planet, The Color Run is exploding since our debut event in January of 2012 and will grow from over 50 events and 600,000 participants in 2012, to over 100 events and over a million participants in 2013. Click here to join the party.
“We call The Color Run the ‘Happiest 5K on the Planet’ because this event bring together friends and family in a unique, healthy, and fun environment,” said Travis Snyder, founder of The Color Run. And after hundreds of thousands of participants have crossed the finish line – the name has stuck.
