Canberra Color Run attracts the crowds

An estimated 7,000 people finished this year's colour fun run beside Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.

Witt participants arriving wearing light colours, all were drenched with colour by the finish line at Stage 88.

The participants were hit with coloured cornstarch, dye and detergent bubbles at various points along the five-kilometre course.

Thousands of participants threw powder packets in the air at the finale to celebrate the event which is dubbed the happiest five-kilometre run on the planet.

The next scheduled event is in Mlebourne on 1st March.

The event, which uses the American spelling for its official title - Color Run, is dubbed the ‘Happiest 5k on the Planet’, offering a unique paintrun that celebrates healthiness, happiness and individuality.

The five kilometre fun run, with a very colourful twist, sees participants of all ages and fitness levels completely covered in colour by the time they’ve completed the course.
