The Color Run is a race without a winner or prize, combining sport and fun for all those who want to exercise while taking a shower of colors. Created in Phoenix, Utah, in 2012, the concept is now international and arrives for the first time in France this Sunday, April 13.

The principle is simple: the participants are dressed in white t-shirts. Along the 5 km course, they are sprayed with colored powders of a different color every kilometer. At the finish line, runners are rewarded with a snack, a drink, a bag of colored powder, and an entry to the Color Run Festival, which takes place after the finish line.

The Parisian course will start from the Hôtel de Ville and arrive at the Trocadero along the Seine. At the finish line, participants will be sprayed with multicolored powders and can dance non-stop thanks to the DJs of the festival, which will end at 3 p.m.
