With just a day left to the huge event, AllandAbout had the privilege to interview the organizers of The Color Run. The event is already a grand success with a large number of color runners registered. The event is already a sell out and prepared to entertain its runners with a happy 5k run.

What is The Color Run?

We’re The Color Run, the world’s first COLOR 5K™ and COLOR DASH event. Founded in 2011, our mission is to bring people together and make the world a happier, healthier place.

What’s the mission behind The Color Run?

By creating an experience that’s more about the memories you make than your mile per minute, we made running feel accessible to a broader demographic.

How many Color Runners participate each year worldwide?

Now the largest running series in the world, “The Happiest 5K on the Planet” has been experienced by over 6 million runners worldwide in 35+ countries, and continues to be a leader in the fun running space.

What should The Color Runners look forward to on the 27th January 2018?

Color Runners will feel on top of the world in the brand-new Foam Zone as they run through dreamy colored foam, and will be delighted by a new color in the classic powder Color Zones. After the course, participants can paint their aspirations on the Dream Wall and get the ultimate color inspiration as they party with friends at the Finish Festival amidst vibrant bursts of color throws.

What does each package of The Color Run include?

Each Color Runner will receive a limited-edition Dream Tour race shirt, embroidered headband, a fun temporary tattoo, rainbow pencil and awesome sponsor goodies. Deluxe Runners will receive all of this plus a Gold Bib, a tutu, party socks, sunglasses, and a wristband! Whether you bring your squad of BFFs or your crew of kids and family, it’s a 5K course that will have everyone feeling like they’re on Cloud Nine!

How many Color Runners have registered for the coming Saturday?

We have already sold more tickets than at this point last year and the event is going to be a complete sell out!

What time and at what location is the event happening?

The Qatar National Convention Centre and doors open at 7am!

How does the event work?

Less about your 10-minute-mile and more about having the time of your life, The Color Run presented by Sahtak Awlan: Your Health First is a five-kilometer, un-timed event in which thousands of participants, or “Color Runners”, are doused from head to toe in different colors. With only two rules, the idea is easy to follow:

Wear white at the starting line!
Finish plastered in color!

What else will the event include?

After Color Runners complete the race, the fun continues 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. Trust us, this is the best post-5K party on the planet!
