How organise a Color Run / Host Color Run
What makes a Run a Color Run. A Color Run is not about competition. It is all about colors, having fun together and stay fit. People are invited to run a track with several color stations. At these color stations all passing color runners have color powder thrown at them. The length of the color run track is most of the time 5 km. That is why people also call it a happy 5k. Host Color Run and have fun!
Along the track there are color run stations. A happy 5k color run has 5 Color stations. Each Color station has its own specific color. At the Color station volunteers are present to toss the bulk color powder on the passing color runners. When reaching the finish each runner should have passed all color stations. Everyone will be nicely covered with color powder. Below info should give you guidance how organize a color run. Below we explain step by step how to host a color run. Host Color Run and Organise your own Color Run!
The Color Run track
An ideal place to host a color run is first of all safe for all runners and spectators. Places like a park, sports club grounds, school playground, city square work perfectly fine as color run track. Most color run organizers choose a length of approx 5 km. But you can decide this for yourself. Sometimes for kids a little shorter track works better.
Color Run station
At each color run station 1 specific color of powder is available. Depending on the number of participants there are volunteers present to throw the bulk colors on the passing runners. Squeeze bottles, cups, shovels can be used to throw the holi colors on the passing runners. Get the color run station ready on time and instruct the volunteers not to aim for peoples faces. You can mark the color stations with flags and blow-ups.
Color run powder
Use only safe and certified color run powder. Do not compromise on this. Avoid the risk of having people with health and cleaning problems or damage to the environment.
A question we receive a lot: How much color run powder do I need for a color run? If you calculate 350 to 400 gram per participant, you will have enough to host a successful event. That comes to 70 to 80 gram per person per color station. The bulk holi colors for the color stations we supply in 5 / 10 / 25KG bulk bags.
