 Information on the color packet—what is it made of, is it allergy-free and safe for children and adults, etc. 

The color powder used at The Color Run event is all certified non-toxic and free of any heavy metals. Our bright colors are a combination of cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C dyes. As with any substance, you want to keep it out of your eyes and our certified color throwers make sure to aim low as you pass by. Some Color Runners opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandana or dust mask for their mouths.

Will the color powders stain my running shoes, etc.?

The color does mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful.

When do I use the color powders—during the race or after the race? How many packets are given to each person who registers?

At the Finish Festival, the crowd will be involved in a color throw every 15 minutes to welcome new runners coming in. We provide one packet of color for each runner as you cross the finish line.

Are dogs/pets allowed?

For the safety of our runners and animal friends, we do not allow animals at any of our races.
