Posted on the 26 August 2013 by Meltingmoments

Yesterday I took part in my first Color Run. It was the most fun experience ever.

The Color Run is known as the happiest 5km on the planet. It is a fun run that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality.

It is a five kilometre, un-timed race in which participants are covered with a different color each kilometer. At the finish line there is a massive ‘finish festival’, much like a party and involving lots more color.

The Color Run held it’s debut event in January of 2012 and grew from over 50 events and 600,000 participants in 2012, to over 100 events and over a million participants in 2013.

Sydney’s Color Run was at Centennial Park.

It is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family.
