ARCHIVED RACE: The Color Run @ Eitihad Stadium, Manchester, United Kingdom on 05 July 2015

After another successful edition of The Color Run in Manchester last year, where more than 10,000 runners covered the Etihad campus in colour, the colour crazy 5k will be back in the city, with a brand new twist for 2015.

The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique colour race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back to the community. Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run is a five-kilometre, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colours at each kilometre. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more coloured powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid colour combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet! With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow:
1. Wear white at the starting line
2. Finish plastered in colour

And as if that wasn’t enough, brand new for 2015, the ‘Happiest 5k’ will shimmer and shine as participants are treated to a fifth colour zone where glitter explosions will light the skies.
