Details: The second annual Color Run Luxembourg will talke place on Sunday 20 July 2014 around Echternach lake, from 13:00.
Described as the "happiest 5k on the planet" or "the happiest 5 km in the world", the Color Run is a racing event inspired by the Holi festival of Indian Spring 5 km, where all participants start in white t-shirts. After each kilometre, the runners are covered with colored powder in the "Color Zones". The powder is a mixture of corn starch and food colour. It is environmentally friendly and even edible. Upon arrival, the Finishers attend a Color Party in colour, where participants throw coloured powder that was distributed in advance.
In 2014, the race is being organised in over 200 cities in North and South America, Europe and Australia. As The Color Run is dedicated to pleasure and a unique experience with friends and family, the race is not timed. This is probably one of the reasons why an average of 60% of participants are for the first time participating in a 5K event.
The Color Run was launched by American Travis Snyder and organised for the first time in January 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona. He had more than 6,000 participants. In 2012, The Color Run was held in over 50 cities in the United States with over 600,000 participants. Since the beginning of the previous year, this wave of colours is now invading Europe.
