What is "The Color Run"? Is it just some kind of happiness festival for kids?

The website says it is a run to "celebrate those who make the world brighter"

What does that mean?

Are they celebrating John 3:20?

quote:

For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed.


It kinda gives a Joe Biden groomy vibe. All the ads have kids, but all the videos show adults with their mouths gaping open.

Its a thing for chicks aged 15-30 to take pics to post on FB and Insta

Also a good place to make tiktoks

Youngest stepdaughter had one years ago and they ran around school grounds (middle school) and colored powder is thrown all over and around them to color them all up. They had a blast.

And also very much this:

Nah just a chick thing. Has been around for years. Similar to red dress run except they throw powder on you

It's like the liberal version of the Spartan Run/Tough Mudder type event. For profit running event that uses colored chalk and tutus to convince people to pay $50 to run a track

It stems from the Hindu tradition of celebrating the coming of spring. Holi festival.

Multiple powders, to give a "rainbow" of colors... Grooming to the gay, ljdbvhbwhejf, agenda.

Ain’t gonna lie, my kids do love it.

Plus there is a stupidly massive supply a single moms out there.

And being over 40 with kids, work smarter, not harder

Its a 5k run for non 5k runners.
It's all about getting colored chalk, etc thrown on you as you "run" the 5k.
I don't think it's even timed, unheard of for a 5k race.
Generally kinda fun to do on an otherwise boring Saturday morning.
Caution: you may receive a cheap t shirt with a rainbow on it that looks like it should be from a gay pride event.
Damn you gays for stealing God's rainbow as your symbol

If people are throwing powder on me I hope it’s Colombian.

It's a fun way for young people to get outside, get some exercise and hang out.

Not sure why anyone would have a problem with this.

I take it that it’s not what Chris Rock would call “running while black”, because that seems like a bad idea.

It's all fun and games until they throw that powder in your face and you breathe it in

There is no event in LA that's easier to score women if you are fit and attractive.

You wear a white t-shirt and "run" (I use that term loosely) and along the route people throw colored powder at you. As you sweat, it mixes with the power and then you end up with color all over our body ahd shirt. People keep the now tye-die shirt as a memento.
