Organiser's Description

ABOUT THE RACE
Celebrate the spirit of two vibrant festivals! Holi, the Hindu "Festival of Colors" and "Festival of Spring," marks the end of winter and honors the triumph of good over evil, as people throw colored powder and splash water in celebration. Songkran, the Thai New Year, is a lively water festival that washes away bad luck and welcomes renewal and prosperity. Inspired by these traditions, Color Run 2026 will bring the community together for a morning of movement, laughter, and cultural celebration.
Participants will race through Brookdale Park, getting splashed with colorful powder along the way. Registration is open to all, but space is limited to 1,500 participantssign up now to secure your spot!
