More than 2 000 at Color Run™ fun
Young and old and even a number of dogs made it through the colour stations just to be covered in coloured powder from head to toe at this past weekend's fun Color Run™ in Greenhills.
All the colours of the rainbow were seen in the streets of Randfontein during the Go West! 5km Color Run™ this past weekend.
The race is said to be the happiest 5km run of one’s life during which free-spirited people roam the streets of Greenhills.
Community members could not wait to get started and to be covered in a variety of funky colours. Young and old and even a number of dogs made it through the colour stations just to be covered in coloured powder from head to toe. This year’s theme was ‘Superhero Tour’ and more than 2 200 people participated.
The mission of the run is to bring people together and make the world a happier, healthier place, by creating an experience that’s more about the memories you make than your mile per minute.

• Runners have burnt off calories equivalent 5,96 million pizza slices; 5,61 million burgers; 8,72 million donuts and 16,35 million 355ml cold drinks

• Color Runners have run over 24 944 832km. That is 71,6 trips to the Moon or 622 times around the world!
