The Color Run™ (Shenzhen)

Our History

The Color Run, the world's first COLOR 5k™ event, was founded in March 2011 as an event to promote healthiness and happiness by bringing the community together to participate in the "Happiest 5k on the Planet". We are the original paint race and have created a completely new genre of COLOR DASH™ running events that continues to grow exponentially.

Now the single largest event series in the world, The Color Run has exploded since our debut event. We have more than exceeded our growth expectations, now hosting events in over 200 cities and 40 countries every year.

Dream World Tour 2017
Get ready to Dream in Color. The Color Run Dream World Tour 2017 takes Color Runners to a world where anything is possible and inspires participants to make dreams a reality in this magical 5K course.

Color Runners will feel on top of the world in the Foam Zone as they run through dreamy colored foam, and will be delighted by new colors in the classic powder Color Zones. Along the course, participants can paint their aspirations on the Dream Wall, snap whimsical photos with giant unicorn, and get the ultimate color inspiration as they party with friends at the Finish Festival amidst vibrant bursts of color throws.

Each Color Runner will receive a limited-edition Dream Tour race shirt, embroidered headband, a fun temporary tattoo, and a one-of-a-kind Unicorn Finisher's Medal. Whether you bring your squad of BFFs or your crew of kids and family, it's a 5K course that will have everyone feeling like they're on Cloud Nine.

HOW THE EVENT WORKS?
Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometer, un-timed race in which thousands of participants, or "Color Runners", are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow:

1. Wear white at the starting line
2. Finish plastered in color!

The fun continues after Color Runners complete the race with an unforgettable Finish Festival. This larger than life party is equipped with music, dancing and massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!
