GET IN EARLY & GET A GOOD START
The start line will open at 9am with waves going every few minutes until 9:30am. Be sure to enter the start chute with the people you want to run with. The Village opens at 7am for all our pre-run entertainment.
There are thousands of people wanting to take part. Our advice is to get there nice and early!
WEAR WHITE
While it’s not against the rules to wear other colours, it’s not really in the spirit of the event. Get your white on! See below if you’re worried about ruining your clothes
ONLY WEAR WHAT YOU’RE PREPARED TO GET COLOURFUL!
The coloured powder is made from corn starch and natural food dyes. It will wash out of your clothes, but just to be careful, we’d suggest leaving your best threads on the hanger at home. The colour does tend to stick to lighter hair… Blonde,s you are warned!
KEEP YOUR GOB CLOSED
The colours are made from natural ingredients, so they won’t hurt you but it’s totally gross to run around with it all up in your grill. Avoid this by keeping your mouth closed as you make your way into the colour throw areas of the course.
We hope these tips help you make the most out of your Swisse Color Run. Have run, we’ll see you on the track!
