What is it about The Colour Run that makes people get so insanely excited? You’re basically taking a colour powder, similar to what gets used to celebrate Holi in the Braj region of India (that’s a commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna in case your wanted the back story), and using it to break up a five kilometre circuit by throwing it around.
Come to think of it, it’s such a simple idea it’s utterly genius.
Adelaide has embraced the event in recent years amongst our growing list of charity/exercise events. So much so that The Colour Run crew are offering a special discount code to runners/skippers/streakers who sign up to secure their place before Midnight on Sunday.
We wanted to share this because we know so many Glam readers just love this event. Jump online to grab your ticket at this link here, and type in the code ‘palmtree’ to receive $5 off admission.
This years theme is focused upon the ‘Tropicolor World Tour’ which also marks the fifth anniversary of The Color Run. Participants will experience an all-new Tropicolor Zone™ on course, where they will be bathed in a tropical array of colors and delicious island scents as they pass through the shade of palm trees, arches, and island-style music.
At the Finish Festival, Color Runners will enjoy even more fun at Rainbow Beach, an interactive island featuring music, dancing, unique photo opportunities, and massive color throws.
The Color Run in Australia has donated more than $1.5 million to charity in its short existence, so there’s more than just happiness and health to be had. You get that warm inner glow as well.
The Adelaide Colour Run will take place on September 11 at 9am in Victoria Racecourse. For more details, follow the event on Facebook.
