What is The Color Run?

It’s not a competition, it’s a special running festival!

In gener

In general, more than half of the participants in their lives meet the 5 km distance for the first time at this event, which is not regulated by any time constraint. Thanks to the color cradle, the joy, and the festival atmosphere, it will create an unforgettable experience for everyone who becomes a participant. The slogan is not accidentally “Happiest 5K on the Planet,” “the happiest 5 kilometers of the planet”! You don’t have to be an athlete to convey The Color Run. Some people is running because of the complete distance, others for self-directed goals, many simply want to spend a good outdoor time with others.

Upon arrival the runners are in white t-shirts. At the warm up the crazyness will start by getting colored from top to bottom, with different colors (natural, artificial additive-free, water-based) powders, making every participant more colorful.

Participants in The Color Run’s colors and costumes will be rewarded with an Unicorn official entry medal! During the event, we will give everyone the opportunity to have fun also for the whole day with concerts and other programs, so before, during and after the run you will spend your time great.
