Color Run is the first of its kind and draws inspiration from great events such as Disney's World of Color and festivals around the world to create our Bharat's Holi festival. Color Run exists because running doesn't always have to be about competition or success. We want you to have fun while running.

No, there is nothing to worry about. It's like being in a food fight with cornstarch. The color powder is made from cornstarch, better known as cornstarch, so there's nothing to fear about being sloppy in the color powder. Of course, we advise people to close their eyes when the color bomb arrives, but this is desirable and has been certified as such. However, sunglasses are a very good option and we encourage everyone to run with them.

At the finish line at the end of the race, the participants will take care of the color throw themselves, for example when runners cross the finish line. You will receive one color bag with your participation number and you can buy more bags at the finish line so you can bathe yourself and yours in color at the end of the race.

Tickets are non-refundable, but if you can't make it to the race, you're welcome to give your ticket to someone. 

You have completed the funnest run of your life. Congratulations! You need rest, but not right away. Take a few minutes to rinse the color off of you and your clothes. Dust dry powder as best you can. The color doesn't come off 100% from the white shirt we give you, but it's done on purpose because the color should remind you of this day for a long time to come. Dust off loose color powder before putting in the wash and wash the clothes you used in the run separately from other laundry and use cold water. Every time you look down at your shoes and see a splash of color, you can think back and reminisce about Color Run and it will put a smile on your face.

If there is a lot of powder in the hair, it is best to rinse it first with cold water. After that, wash your hair as you normally do. There may be some color residue after the first rinse, but the color should be completely gone after 2-3 hair washes. Those who want to be absolutely 100% safe can resort to old household tips and put a little oil in their hair before running. It actually prevents everything from getting stuck in the hair. Coconut oil or olive oil work best.

The color powder is the same as in other Color Runs around the world and has been independently tested and researched. The powder, which is made from 100% natural corn flour and widely used in processed food products, is neither harmful to the skin nor the environment according to the results of analyses. The dyes are recognized in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, which means that they have been tested and confirmed that they meet the conditions made regarding the direct contact of the substances with the skin and breathing of people. Most of the powder's content comes from natural resources such as leaves, flowers, tree and fruit bark. The powder is water-soluble and has been approved by the European Union's environmental agencies for use in open public areas. In other words, the powder is neither dangerous nor harmful, but as with everything else, it's a good idea not to get too much of the powder in the eyes, and people naturally don't bother trying to swallow such powder.
