What is color run?The Color Run is not a serious running event. Personally, it is just for friendship and entertainment. According to the website, the objectives of color run are "Healthiness Happiness and individuality". My warning is that "do not expect to run all and be prepare for run".

The color run is originally from the US in March 2011 (Almost 5 years ago). Due to the popularity, it has widespread to many countries; in 2014, there were more than 50 countries with more than 300 cities organize this event. So, the runner can pick the cities to join the color run wherever you like.
I joined the Color run in Seattle. The even that I join city was in the morning. I would say that it was the ordinary event. Comparing with the other type, the night event, the color is bright in the night. All in all, the main different are time and type of color. In my opinion, the night event is quite rare.
Before the day
Total running distance was around 5K and the entrance fee was $50. Personally, the application fee is quite cheap comparing with other 5K event such as Santa VS Superhero 5K and the stuffs that I received. When I applied, I got a T-shirt, a bag, a headband, color packages and tattoos. Tell you the truth, the stuffs were more premium than other events that I ever join.

During the race day
In the color run, I ran 5K which passed 5 stations; namely red, blue, yellow, orange and silver as well as mini concert at the finished line. Each station, there was many staffs splashed the color to the runners. You know what do expect to go back with your original clean t-shirt. I trews away every cloths including my running after the event.
Moreover, I ran with a ton of people. It was the most crowd running event that I had ever seen in my life (Please look at the following picture!!). Imagine that, Even if I came to the start line earlier than the starting time around 30 minuets, I could not see the starting line; moreover, I tried to run with my friends but due to a lot of runners ran with us, we got lose. However, the staffs and the organizers managed the event so well; so I did not feel uncomfortable to run at all.
After race
I got the running medal (but mine got lost), moreover, I joined the mini concert. the mini concert was fun and full of powder colors! most people participated the concert; danced together.
Final thought!
If you want to fun just for fun; or you want to find some motivation to run. I wholeheartedly recommend to join this running event
