Color Run

The Color Run™ is a five-kilometer, untimed event. At each kilometer mark, Color Runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color.

Once the race is over, the fun continues at the after party, a larger-than-life party with music, dancing, photo ops, activity booths, and more massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations.

After five years, The Color Run™ is finally coming back to China, and will be staged in Shenzhen on Nov. 23.

Time: Nov. 23
