One of the most exciting parts of the event is being showered with vibrant color along the course!
Participants who prefer to avoid most of the color can stay to one side of the route.
Our event is inspired by large-scale color runs while maintaining its own unique community atmosphere. The color powder used is:

• Non-toxic
• Biodegradable
• Safe for wildlife and vegetation
• We strive to minimize our environmental impact. Following the event, walkways will be cleaned to disperse remaining color powder, and nature will take care of the rest.
