The Color Run Arrived to Medellín by Gloria Patricia Gómez Giraldo



The Color Run Arrived to Medellín

It is the only run in the world that celebrates healthiness, happiness, the personality and the help to the community. 

The color run was a race of 5 kilometers without time, where thousands of people were painted with powder of different colors and at the end there was a big color party, with music and the most important: the energy of the color runners.

The happiest 5K on the Planet was the 1st of September. From the Poblado Avenue to Four South Bridge 10.000 athletes ran the greatest race with their families, children, friends, parents and grandparents, wearing hats, customs, sunglasses and tattoos. 

The organization of the event was prefect, the people accomplished these rules: start with a white t-shirt, finish the race full of color, no pets, no red color, no alcohol and no drugs.

The people shouted through streets: “More color more happiness” jumping to the beat of the music, the people were so exiting.

The main sponsor was Gef, they gave some souvenirs: headbands, purses, t-shirts and sunglasses. Coca-cola also participated with their brand “Crush” giving it to the runners to keep them hydrated. 

Everyone expressed their satisfaction on the social networks with pictures, great comments, reviews and videos. It was broadcasted live on TeleMedellín, who did interviews with organizer and participants, also they had an helicopter recording the race where the viewers could watch the multitudes.
