21. Colors
The colors used are plant-based, non-toxic, and
environmentally-friendly. Made from food-grade
cornstarch, you could even eat them (not that we
suggest that!). All these are toxic and can give people
skin allergies, irritated nose or lungs and eye irritation. It´s
not only unhealthy for people and animals, also for the
environment it’s pollution.
Why we only use eco-friendly Colors? Because “The Color
Run India™” is more fun and harmless with organic
Colors. Enjoy the natural colors for Run and don’t worry
about skin allergies, irritation or pollution! Make your color
run, festival and event success full with our eco-friendly
Colors.
Color Throws
Every 15 minutes, we will countdown to a mass Color
Throw. This creates the infamous Color Cloud. Join us as we
welcome all Color Runners to the finish Festival. Everyone
throwing colors into the air at the same time creates a
spectacular sight. This is where you’ll want to use the color
pack you received as you crossed the finish line.
Hopefully you were able to resist throwing it for this long.
Trust us, it’s worth the wait. If you have used, lost or
forgotten your personal Color Pack (handed to you at the
finish line), or would like to purchase additional color, we
will have a limited quantity for sale at the Festival! First
come, first served! Cash only please.
21
22. The Finish Festival
The Finish Festival is the place to burn even more
calories! We’ll have a DJ, music and INCREDDDDIBLE
Color Throws happening here – trust us this is the BEST
post 5k party on the planet!
As you cross the Finish Line, you will be given a color
packet. Make sure you hang onto it and take it to the
stage for a Color Throw! Additional color can be
purchased,
Our Cleaning Zone is located right near the Finish
Festival and our Color Blowers will do their best to help
clean off any excess color!
The Course
The run is approximately a 5km looped course
The course will be where our AHHHHMAZING Color
Zones are located
There will be a water station around the half-way point
of the course to keep you hydrated. Water stations will
also be located at Ahmedabad.
