The Color Run

Overview

Fun runs are often not that fun. Sure, they have events at the finish line, and a whole lot of people, but at the end of the day it’s just a run. Well, enter The Color Run. Founded as a way to promote happiness and health, this 5km run involves a serious amount of paint. The rules are simple. One: everyone is welcome; walkers, athletes and everything in between. Two: wear white. Three: get covered in different coloured paints along the way and return to the finish line a beautiful mismatch of colours.

There will be a party at the beginning, one at the end and four colour zones. We dare you not to smile as you go. This year it will be a Grand Prix edition, taking place around the Albert Park lake. And to top off the good vibes, The Color Run gives back to charity, with over $1 million going to charities to date.

Don a white t-shirt, and get the sneakers ready. It’s Colour Run time.
