2024 ROUTE
weather
The Color Run is an outdoor event and participants should dress to the occasion. The event will not be cancelled even though the weather is not at its best. That is just Bharat. In the end, rain is only wet sunshine!
The starting grid
Participants will line up in the starting grid prior to the run. At the front, runners will be divided into 100-150 race heats that will be started every 60-90 seconds. That is how we make sure that there will not be too many people running through the color zones at the same time so everyone can get as much color as intended. As the heats are divided in the starting grid, friends and families should be together (only for 5k & 2.5k) if they intend to run together. .
Remember that Half Marathon & 10k are timed events and 5k and 2.5k are not timed events so there is no need to have the competitiveness take over the fun. Take your time to enjoy the experience with your friends. The fastest one is really the loser in non-timed events because you should take your time to enjoy.
Remember to wear the color run t-shirt when you enter the starting grid. Without the t-shirt you will not be granted access.
The color zones
On the route there are six color zones: Red, green, orange, blue, yellow and pink. When you run through it, you will be colored by our staff. The colors are a special blend of magical colors and corn starch which is 100% natural, safe and approved by food administrations all over the world.
To make sure the color powder doesn´t go into the eyes, our staff will aim below neck when participants run through. Some runners prefer to wear sunglasses and buffs to cover their mouth and eyes. We also recommend that, especially for the younger participants. We ask runners not to stop in the color zones because that will only create a danger for the others.
walk, run
and dance
The Color Run is for everyone.
Some will run the whole route, others will walk and still others will dance. Our experience is that most runners do a little bit of everything.
POST RUN
after run party
The Color Run is not finished when you cross the finish line. In reality, the fun is just about to begin! Tap your shoulders for a good job done and enter the party in front of the stage.
DJ & Zumba Instructors will keep you entertained by the stage and there will be enough colors for everyone.
color bombs
Every 10-12 minutes we will countdown for the next color bomb by the stage to create those famous color clouds you have seen on pictures.
This is where you should use your color pouch from the participation kits. If you can’t manage to control yourself, you can either make an attempt to catch one of the color pouch thrown from the stage or simply get as many color pouches at the counter.
food and drinks
Food and drinks will be available at the event area.
Prize/ Cash Rewards
A dedicated Prize/ Cash Rewards Distribution Ceremony will be held post completion and verification of the results and identity.
Rules and safety
We recommend a use of glasses when running though the color zones. Also, a buff to cover your mouth and nose is a great idea. Although the color powder is not dangerous in any way it is no fun getting to much of it in your eyes or mouth.
Please follow guidance provided by event staff.
More than anything, please show courtesy and respect to other participants around you.
running with kids
With thousands of participants in the event there is always a possibility that the little runners “manage” to run away from their parents. If you are running with kids (you are the coolest parent in the world!), your kids are going to have some serious fun. If you lose track of them, please decide with them before you start running where to meet up if you get seperated. We recommend that you will have a meeting point in our blue tents next to the stage.
We can't wait for having a fun day with you!
looking forward to seeing you!
this is how we run
As a color runner, you along with thousands of other runners will be colored as you enter our color zones roughly every kilometer you complete. At every color zone you will be met with music, fun and a new color.
For Non-Timed Categories: It is not about finishing the fastest. Rather to have fun and enjoy your participation. There will be no winners because nobody is counting. You should take your time going through the route and the color zones to maximize your experience.
