COLOUR POWDER
How does the colour bombing work?
There will four points where you can get colour bombed. The first point will be at the start of the race. The second, third and fourth points will be along the trail. If you decided to do a second, third or fourth lap, run to the lap number point where you will be colour bombed with a different colour. Remember the more laps the more colourful you will be.
What is thecolourmade from? Does it stain?
Thecolouredpowder is made from corn-starch and naturalfood dyes. It will wash out of your clothes, however we suggest you leave your designer gear at home! Only wear what you’re willing to getcolourful;)
Will thecolourstain my hair?
Thecolouredpowder does wash out of your hair, however we do recommend you take precautions if you’re worried! Thecolourdoes tend to stick to lighter hair… Blondes you are warned! Oiling your hair before the run will help thecolourwash out. If you’re having trouble washing it after the event, bi-carb soda and anti-dandruff shampoo will help get the more stubborncolourout! Please note we do not take any responsibility for additional costs associated with the removal of colour.
Will thecolourruin clothes or running shoes?
Thecolourdoes mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind gettingcolourful. Please note we do not take any responsibility for any damage of clothing that may occur due to the colour bombs.
How do I preserve those preciouscoloursin my shirt?
If you would like to preserve thecolourin your running shirt, spray it with vinegar, let it dry and then iron it. But if you wash it….it eventually will come out.
