The Color Run, also known as “the happiest 5km on the planet,” will return to Shenzhen on Saturday to celebrate healthiness, happiness and individuality. This unique race is a five-kilometer, un-timed, no-winner event in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. With only two rules, the concept is easy to follow: Wear white at the starting line and finish plastered in color. It is an event for all fitness levels. Each runner will receive a T-shirt, a buff, a fun lightning tattoo, a unicorn pin, a finisher’s medal, a bag of color powder, a drawstring bag and a pair of colorful sunglasses. Runners who apply for a deluxe kit will also receive a plush unicorn keychain and a cape. The fun continues after Color Runners complete the race with an unforgettable Finish Festival. This larger-than-life party is equipped with music, dancing and massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. Founded in 2011, the Color Run has had over 6 million participating runners worldwide in more than 35 countries.
