The Grand Rapids Color Run 2023

Calling all dreamers, believers, and magic-makers! Get up and glow with us for the Happiest 5K on the Planet. 2022 marks The Color Run’s 10th year celebrating those who make the world brighter, healthier, and happier. Whether this is your 1st or 50th, we can’t wait to MAKE MAGIC, MAKE MEMORIES, and MAKE MORE. TOGETHER

Our mission at The Color Run is to bring people together and make the world a happier, healthier place. The Color Run is a five-kilometer, untimed event. At each kilometer mark, Color Runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color. Once the race is over, the fun continues at the Finish Festival, a larger-than-life party equipped with music, dancing, photo ops, activity booths, vendors, and more massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5K party on the planet! Color Runners vary in demographics and reasons for running. With no winners or official times, The Color Run caters to everyone—first-time runners to seasoned athletes. More than half of our participants are first-time 5K runners. The Color Run is proud to be a catalyst that inspires our participants to live a more active lifestyle, on top of having fun!
