Who Should Avoid Running in Our Event

Color runs are generally safe for most people, but there are a few groups of people who should avoid participating:

​

• People with allergies or asthma: The color powder used in color runs is typically made from cornstarch, food coloring, and baking soda. However, it is possible for some people to have allergic reactions to these ingredients. If you have allergies or asthma, it is best to talk to your doctor before participating in a color run.

​

• People with respiratory problems: The color powder used in color runs can be inhaled into the lungs. This can be a problem for people with respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, or COPD. If you have any respiratory problems, it is best to avoid participating in a color run.

​

• People with open wounds: The color powder used in color runs can irritate open wounds. If you have any open wounds, it is best to cover them with bandages or gauze before participating in a color run.

​

• People who are pregnant: There is no evidence that color runs are harmful to pregnant women, but it is always best to talk to your doctor before participating in any new activity.

​

• Infants and small children: Color runs can be a lot of fun for kids, but it is important to supervise them closely. Make sure they wear goggles or sunglasses to protect their eyes from the color powder. You may also want to consider having them wear a mask to help prevent them from inhaling or eating the powder. For children 6 years and younger, we will have a family walk option with toddler-friendly activities so everyone can enjoy the fun!

​

If you are unsure whether or not you should participate in a color run, it is always best to talk to your doctor.
