10 Reasons for The Color Run

The Color Run, the world’s first COLOR 5k™ event, was founded in March 2011 as an event to promote healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the “Happiest 5k on the Planet”.

They are the original paint race and have created a completely new genre of COLOR DASH™ running events that continues to grow exponentially. Now the single largest event series in the world, The Color Run has exploded since their debut event. They have more than exceeded their growth expectations, now hosting events in over 200 cities and 40 countries every year.

Here are the top 10 reasons to run The Color Run:

1. It’s the 5K vacay you have been needing :

It’s an untimed event, so there’s no pressure to time your mile so you can just have fun!  It’s so positive and fun that you’ll see Color Runners running, skipping, dancing, and smiling to the finish line! Take the time to treat yo’ self.

2. The Color Run is a “one event fits all” type of party:

From babies getting pushed in strollers to some of our favorite grandparents, and even celebrities, everyone loves making rainbows and getting colorful at the Happiest 5k!

3. You can run with your squad:

Since it’s not timed, many of our runners do the event together for family reunions, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or to catch up with old friends! Go at your own pace and get ready to party island-style with your squad.

4. It’s the OG of paint races:

The Color Run was the first color 5K event founded in 2012. It is now the single largest running event series in the world, making it a huge party you won’t want to miss!

Get ready for a participant kit unlike any other!. With a limited edition Tropicolor race tee, embroidered headband, metal, color packet, and a “HAPPY” tattoo,  there’s nothing basic about it.

6. The theme is BIGGER THAN LYFE:

The Color Run Tropicolor World Tour is unlike any event out there! Not only are you being blasted with color, but there’s also giant palm trees, beach balls, and cool music with a live DJ. Participants are decked out in their best gear, complete with tutus, and other crazy getup. We’re making stops around the world this summer, so catch it before it’s gone! It’s a 5k vacay you can only experience this year!
