What To Know About Color Run Races And How To Play A Part In Them?

By Else H. Hackett


Color run races are unique events that inspire people from all across the United States, and parts of Canada to travel to participate in. As the name implies, this kind of race adds color and fun to participants lives in a way that doesn't resemble any other race. To know how they do that, it is necessary to know how they work, who can run in them, and other related details.

Although participants start out the race in completely white clothes, they don't stay that way long. Right after they begin, they are bombed with a medley of green, yellow, pink, purple, and blue tinted cornstarch balls that tie-dyed color. At the end of the race, participants find themselves in the midst of another blast of color that will cover any little hint of white than might have been missed.

The races usually carry participants through historical and cultural areas of each city, and benefit a local area charity organization. This lets the runners help a good cause while they improve their health and have a valid reason to run down the streets throwing paint and having fun.

Regardless of their age, weight, or whether they will walk or run, anyone can have a part in a color run. Registering is as easy as finding the race website, selecting a race location, forming or joining a team, entering the required information form, and paying the registration fee. There is also the option of contributing to a local charity of choice in the area of the race.

In addition to running in the race, there is the option of joining as a volunteer with the color bomb squad. Volunteers with the bomb squad hurl the color bombs on runners, often friends and family, rather than being bombed, which is another advantage this position has.

The color run usually starts around nine in the morning, and blasts from the color squad quickly follow with another bombing every five minutes until the runners reach the 5k run finish line. Once they are there, there is an explosion of color as participants grab handfuls of color and tie-dye one another until they get hungry and thirsty. Drinks, food, music, and sponsors are located at a safe distance from the colorful battle zone.

If you are looking for a extraordinary and fun way to spend a day, and possibly support a local charity, then sign up for a color run. It will be something that you, your family, and friends will remember for years to come!
