The Color Run is about health, happiness (aka FUN), individuality, and giving back to the community. Pick a charity, get a “Fun Raiser” code, and get all your mpentjes get tickets under your code. Uplift the community while you uplift your spirits (no extra cost to you – nice).
Can’t find a charity to support? Head over to Soweto TV and support theirs – because they have the community’s back. There’s also loads of info about The Color Run on Channel 251, so stayed tuned. You might even win some tickets.

About The Color Run
The Color Run is a feel-good, happy, colourful event. “Color Runners” of all shapes and sizes happily go from wearing pristine white clothing, to being covered in prismatic colour. At each kilometre mark, a different colour of powder fills the air and covers the participants, creating an ever-increasing spectrum of colour and beauty.
At the finish line, the colour festival kicks off and the air is filled with millions of vivid colour combinations as participants get in on the colour throwing fun as well. For more information, go to www.thecolorrun.co.za or follow us on Facebook.
