The Color Run is an irreverent, carnival-like, annual running event in Port Elizabeth
Part of the international Color Run Tour, which claims to be the world’s largest untimed running series, the Port Elizabeth version is run over a 5 km course. It was founded in 2011, with the mission of bringing people together to make the world a happier, healthier place. Color Runners are encouraged to roll, hop, skip and run through the streets of the city.
Participants begin the event in their white The Color Run T-shirts and complete it coloured from head-to-toe. The 2018 version for example included stilt walkers, balloon shapers, music, good-natured clowning around, and plenty of colour.
NOTE: The use of the American spelling of "color" is correct in the name of the run, in view of its origins. South African usage is normally "colour"
