The Color Run
What is the Color Run?
The Color Run is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. The events, are all about people of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you’ve traveled in a VERY long time. You will love this Color Dash of fun!
How does it work?
The Color Run pretty much has 2 SIMPLE rules. 1. White shirts (any mostly white T will work great) mandatory at the start line and 2. Color plastered EVERYTHING at the finish! Runner/walkers begin the 5k at the start line like a brand new pristine coloring book, they end looking like they fell into a Willy Wonka… tie dyed… vat of colored goodness.
What is the Color?
Each kilometer of the event is associated with a designated color. 1k is yellow, 2k is blue, 3k is green, 4k is pink, and the 5k finish is a “Color Extravaganza.” As the runners/walkers hit the Kilometer COLOR RUN Zones, they will be blitzed by our volunteers, sponsors, and staff with COLOR. The color is a special “elf made” recipe of magical color dust. All products are 100% natural and safe. You can eat the stuff if you’d like (we have tried it and don’t suggest it, it is surprisingly high in calories and leaves a chalky aftertaste).
If you’re interested in training for The Color Run start our Zero to 5K, Running for Absolute Beginners training program today.

Sad no Gainesville, FL…. sounds fun
Jlambdin, It’s growing… so I’m sure it won’t be long until there’s one in Gainesville.
I’m doing the Columbus, Ohio one this weekend. It looks like so much fun and I can’t wait!!!
Kettler, Haven’t tried 6 hours. If you good on low it should work. Keep us posted!
Caitlin_b, You’ve got to let us know all about it!! We’d love you to post some photos on fb.
My daughter and I did the one in Indiana and we had a blast! It was so much fun and I loved showing her that fitness can be fun!
I totally want to do the Chicago on next year!!!
I'm doing the Houston run. My kids were so excited at the idea of running with me, but it was sold out at that point. Boo for my kids. Yay for the run being sold out and having full support toward Expedition Balance. Would love the opportunity to win the family 4 pass so my three kids and husband can join me in this exciting and worthwhile event.
Looks like fun!
O tried to sign up for the one in Houston- sold out though. I'm so sad about this. I wanted to do it so bad!
Amazing! Putting this on my bucket list!
What a great first 5K for our family to run together!
I'd love to be notified. I think this could be the motivation I need to start a C25K. I've recently lost 20 lbs and still have a long way to go. It would be fun to be able to do this with my husband and 2 daughters!
I'm in! I did the Color Run here in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area last month and there were a ton of children. I did it with my girlfriends this time, but my own three daughters would have a blast!

My fiance and I would love to participate in this! We got engaged at the end of June and have been working out in preparation for the up-coming wedding. The Color Run looks FUN!
My fiance has never run an organized race, so how cool would it be for him to say that his first was the Color Run?!
Sounds like such fun! We'd love to do it!
This looks like so much fun! Looking forward to the Atlanta run in the spring! Hoping to get my kids hooked on 5ks we can do together!

I've been looking forward to doing the Color Run in Orlando since my cousin's wife told me about it almost a year ago!!

my "One Body" family would love to do the Color Run in Memphis TN in October … we began working out together in April and have registered to participate in our first 5K next month … some walkers, some runners … but ONE BODY!
I would love to do the color run with my family!
Getting healthy is important to my family Color run with the famil would be epic!!
We live in CHarlotte, NC but have flight privileges to go anywhere in the country! Would be a great way to get my husband, two boys and myself off of the couch and running!
I would love to do the color run with my family. My uncle has been after me for a long time to take up running, and my 13 yr old son is now interested in trying his first 5K (especially when he saw the video for the Color Run). Would love to sign up for the Cincy OH run coming up Oct 6th!!
I would love to do the color run with my hubby and 5 and 7 year old. We have done 5K's before (yep my kids did one earlier this year) but nothing that looks this fun!
Would love to go to a color run! Recently lost 30 pounds & this seems like a great way to celebrate!!!
I would love to do this with my family. My local run is already sold out.
I would truly love to do this with my 14 yr old friplets. I work hard at instilling physical fitness to them.and they see me get up and run early most days. The fees for these races really rack up. I have never been able to take all three. To do it together would be a terrific achievement and wonderfully fun experience for them to participate in. To experience the energy of the crowd, the whole race experience. Fun timesThanks for your considetation.
I would love to do the color run in Chicago next yr. with my husband and my kids we r all excited about it!!

We haven't done a run as a family yet and I think this color run would be a perfect first family run!!!
My Dad and siblings were supposed to run the New England Color Run this year, but when my Dad unexpectedly passed away this summer, the plans were put on hold. Would love to run one, in memory of my Dad!!
The Color Run looks like it would be so much fun! I would love to run in one! : )
Would love to run the color run with my boys in Des Moines, IA!
I found out about the Color Run a month or so ago. Unfortunately it was too late to register for the race in my area (New Orleans) as it was sold out. Seriously bummed me out. I want to do it so bad. The next closest race is in Houston but I cannot afford it. I would love to win a spot for myself and my family to come cheer me on!
I have always wanted to do this!!!
Color me happy! (But only of I win!).
There is one in or near Albany NY in September but I didnt see it listed on your list. I really, really want to run it that one!!!
I'm hoping to be able to do this with my husband and kids! My daughter is super excited about it!
I have lost 65lbs since March. I would LOVE to be able to run this with my family who has been my greatest support system! ! Love y'all!
I would love to do the color run in Birmingham, AL with a few family members!
I'm doing the Milwaukee Color Run tomorrow and would love to be able to share this experience with my family at another location.
I would love to do the color run! It looks like so much Fun ND just the motivation I need to start training for a 5k
YES! My husband has been doing weight watchers and training for a half marathon in October. He is within 15 lbs of his target weight. The race in Houston is on his birthday and I would LOVE to take him.
My family and I ran this before. I would love to do it again, this time with my mom too!!
The color run would be a great reason for a sister weekend! Living 16 hours away from your best friend and sister is tough. We've talked too many times about doing this and not, this would be a great time to make it happen!!
I have lost 182 pounds with diet and exercise…..and would love to experience this run in New Orleans!!!
Running in the Color Run with my family would rock! I am running my first 5K on September 22nd and running the Color Run as my 2nd would be AWESOME!!!!
Would love to do a color run!!! Was sad STL was sold out!! Family and friend FUN!!!!!
Art + fitness + family togetherness = a perfect day. Let us enjoy it!
I would love to Color Run, Memphis style!
I am encouraging my mother to get healthy for our family and would love for our family to do this run with her this year.
I am a beginning runner and I would love to be able to go to the Colr run in Houston, TX with my husband and 2 12 year-old sons! We have been working out as a family to better our health.
I wanted to do the Color Run when it was in KC this summer. But, it sold out before I had a chance to register. Just got into running races and they are so motivating. LOVE THEM!!
I am new to running and training doing the c25k! I was so excited about the color run but when I went to register for the New Orleans race it was sold and I was so disappointed:( I so want to do this!
This sounds like a blast! My husband and 11 yr old daughter run every night, they would love it!
Color me happy!!!!!! I need this run under my belt
This looks like SOOO much fun!!
We would love to do this as a family!
I would absolutely LOVE to do the color run. I am trying to find a way to motivate my mother to get healthy, and when she saw this, she so wanted to do it!!!!!!!
I would love to run the color run in New Orleans!! I am getting ready to do my second 5K in Sept. My husband and I are training with my brother and sister-in-law to get fit, motivate each other and reach our goals. This would be so much fun!
Everything about this sounds fun! I'd love to run this with my family!
I've been working up to my first 5K ever since my 5 yr old daughter became interested in running. I really want to show her how to live a healthy lifestyle because it just wasn't something we talked about growing up. The color run would be perfect for us to do with the other women in our family!
Being a teacher, I LOVE color!!
My students would love to see pictures of their teacher covered in color! And what great motivation for them to also get out in exercise! Really want to do this!!
I really want to win the family entry. I have three girls ages twelve, ten, and seven. When I told them about it they were all excited and we have been running together! Proud of my girls! Hope we win!
My sister and I run together and my mom walks 5Ks. Iif we won this we'd get my dad or husband to be our 4th; my husband used to run but hasn't for some time. We need some family time together. I tried to sign up for the Stl. color run about 2 months before it occured but it was already full. I was so disappointed! A couple of my friends did it and said it was sooooo fun/amazing. I did a 5K in Atlanta when I traveled there for work, and my sister and I are going to run the Orange Beach Running Club 5K route when we're in Alabama this week. I would LOVE to add this to the runs I've traveled and done. Start of a new goal, traveling to run in cities all over the U.S? I like it!!!!! I'm down 36 pounds since I starting running in January and I've got a long way to go and this would sure help keep me motivated. Thanks for your time and good luck everyone!!!!
Would love to do the Color Run with my daughter. It looks like a blast!
I would absolutely LOVE to win the family run package!!! I just had a baby and definitely need to get back into shape!!! What a great way to kick it off!!! My dad just finished his first half marathon at 50 yrs old!! I wld love to do this with him and my brother and sister!! It would be a great bonding experience for us!!! Thank you for considering me as your winner!!
)))
Color our world of who Dats. We would love this run in New Orleans.
I turned 50 this year and have never been a runner. I have been working at it over the last year and am up to 3 miles. It is a huge goal of mine to run a 5k before I turn 51. A 5k was on our summer bucket list. I have a 9 year old and 12 year old. I want to be/stay in shape to stay young for them!
Hi my name is Chelsea. I am born and raised in New Orleans and I would love to run in the color run with my family. I love my family and we would all really enjoy this race! It is a fun way to spend time with family and exercising at the same time! Thanks! Oh by the way Who Dat Go Saints! Super Bowl in New Orleans this year!
This would be a huge deal if I were chosen to win. I have 2 daughters who think this looks like a blast. For me, this would be a huge accomplishment as I was diagnosed as an adult with type 1 diabetes. My path has been rough but now onto a healthier lifestyle. This run will give me the encouragement to move forward and not backwards. Thank for the chance!!!!!
My family wants so badly to do our first color run together!! One daughter is in running club here on the island–the youngest can't wait until she turns 5 so she can start–and this will be the first year for it that my husband isn't deployed.
I have never run a 5k before and am starting your zero to 5k running program now. I have friends who have run the color run before and had a blast. I want to have the same experience for my family! Please pick me for the color run!!!
My family would LOVE doing this! My 5 year old would have a blast with this! She's been "pretending" to be in the color run when we go on walks/runs now! Please pick our family! She's been so into rainbows lately…I know this would be an awesome experience for her and a great way to show her that running can be fun!
I have always wanted to run a 5k! Better start training now so I can participate in this one when it comes to Phoenix next year! It looks like so much fun!
Hi, my name is Ellie .As a cancer surviver a learned if cancer “doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger" and you have to live with the side effects for the rest of your life. But I am living proof that you can defeat cancer, survive the aftermath and savor the joys of " THE RUN COLOR" with family and friends
I found out about the color run and I am going to do it- this will be my first ever run! I started exercising last Nov and have been using a treadmill for running and after deciding to do this run I have been running outdoors to condition my body for the different elements of outdoor excercise. I would live to win these tickets!
My almost 7 year old and I started doing 5k's together at the beginning of the year and we have had so much fun! He amazes me every race by improving more and more. We even got my sister to join us in our last race. We are going to surprise my son this next year and take him to do the Color Run in Dallas with my sister, myself, and we are finally gonna get my hubby in on a run with us. I would love to win the entry for all of us! That would make it the best run-cation ever!
How fun! I am a new runner and would love to do this.
Folks always say how much fun this 5k is. It is definitely on my bucket list!
Sounds like a blast!!
Would love to win!!
Our family did the mud run in May! We had such a great time that we can't wait to do the color run!!
I have always wanted to run in a 5K.. I think this opportunity would be perfect for my first 5k.. something fun and not "race" on time. Plus, I would love to have my kids involved with it..
We would LOVE to win this. San Diego 11/3 woohoo
I already tried to register a while ago for my local color run and it's sold out
I would love to do this with my family! My 4year old who LOVES to run keeps asking me if we could PLEASE run this together. My 7 year old loves art and would enjoy the colors of it all. Please consider us for Houston, TX Color run!!
I would absolutely love this! Color me in.
My husband will reach 20 years of active duty ARMY service in September. This would be a great way for our family to celebrate! We would love to do this run in Des Moines, IA.
My daughter and I have decided to run this race when one is scheduled in our area.
Would love to run this with my hubs! We recently participated in another 5K while this was going on… The Color Run looked like it was a great time!
I have decided to make this my goal. To be able to run in either Dallas or Austin. I signed up for updates last month. I quit smoking after over half my life as a smoker and have made it my goal to be healthy. The Color Run will also be a meeting for me and my online friends. Super excited!
I would love to run the Des Moines Color run. How fun!
i would LOVE to run the color run in Houston…it's about 3 hours away from me but it would be SO worth it…i have a few friends that together we are changing our lives and becoming healthier for ourselves and our kids and this race would be a blast for us all!
My family would LOVE to run this….we have been looking for a FUN run to do with our girls…this seems RIGHT up that alley!!!!
I would love to run this with my family. Looks so fun!!~
My family would love to do this run in Houston. Looks like so much fun!
