For nearly ten years, The Color Run events have attracted record numbers of first-time runners. “It means a lot to our team when someone tells us they ran their first 5K at The Color Run,” said product manager Amanda Hewlett. “We’re always striving to be as inclusive and positive as possible. We want our events to be a place where everyone can feel accepted and celebrated.”
Now, the “Happiest 5K on the Planet” wants to do even more to make sure their events leave a positive impact. On their 2019 Love Tour, The Color Run is encouraging people to show love for themselves, love for each other, and love for the planet. This includes focusing on self-care and body positivity in their messaging, partnering with local charities, and opting for reusable products and recycling opportunities at each event. The Color Run Las Vegas benefits Three Square Food Bank, helping to combat hunger in Southern Nevada one meal at a time.
“The Love Tour definitely has a special feel to it,” said Kylee Hutchinson, The Color Run event director. “Every Color Runner is going to leave the event feeling like they were just a part of something extraordinary.”
With a colorful, 1970s inspired aesthetic, new photo ops, and redesigned merchandise, The Color Run has a significantly new look as well. The 2019 racecourse features two new “double color” zones, in addition to the regular checkpoints, where runners are doused in color powder during their run. After the race, runners can explore a reimagined Finish Festival, featuring a live DJ and massive color throws every few minutes. The Finish Festival also features samples from select sponsors, including RumHaven coconut rum liqueur for adult runners.
