The Color Run is also very popular in Australia and is celebrated with lots of fun and flare.
The Color Run event is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a colour crazy day with your friends and family. It is about participants 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 Color Run course is the most enjoyable real estate one has traveled in a VERY long time
The fun generated by the event attracts many participants who run into the fear of no slots and hence they need to be registered well in time. Usually the dress code requires to wear white shirt for both sex, while people of all ages are welcomed to join whether they walk or run, walkers or olympians. The savings from the race usually go to a charity run by a NGO for the benefit of needy.
I hope this idea will be picked up by Indian cities on the 'Holi' day. In fact the idea of playing with colors both wet and dry has been actually been initiated and inspired by this great ages old Indian festival of 'Holi'. The west have taken the celebration to a higher and newer level.
A recent Color Run on June 3 2013 on Gold Coast Australia is presented below:
