Our Mission and History We’re The Color Run, the world’s first COLOR 5K™ and COLOR DASH event. Founded in 2011, our mission is to bring people together and make the world a happier, healthier place. By creating an experience that’s more about the memories you make than your mile per minute, we made running feel accessible to a broader demographic. Now the largest running series in the world, “The Happiest 5K on the Planet” has been experienced by over 6 million runners worldwide in 35+ countries, and continues to be a leader in the fun running space. Here’s our colorful history at a glance

 

Get ready to Dream in Colors. The Color Run Tour, our team takes Color Runners to a world where anything is possible and inspires participants to make dreams a reality in this magical 5K course. Color Runners will feel on top of the world in the brand-new Lay’s® Poppables™ Foam Zone as they run through dreamy colored foam, and will be delighted by new colors (PURPLE!) in the classic powder Color Zones. Along the course, participants can paint their aspirations on the Dream Wall, snap whimsical photos with giant unicorns, and get the ultimate color inspiration as they party with friends at the Finish Festival amidst vibrant bursts of color throws. Each Color Runner will receive a limited-edition Dream Tour race shirt, embroidered headband, a fun temporary tattoo, and a one-of-a-kind Unicorn Finisher’s Medal. Whether you bring your squad of BFFs or your crew of kids and family, it’s a 5K course that will have everyone feeling like they’re on Cloud Nine
