color me rad {celebration of colour}

Back in February, I posted about The Colour Run and was rather sad to see it wasn’t coming to my hometown of Vancouver. A powder throwing party à la Holi and overall colour-loving celebration? Yes please! I then heard about Color Me Rad, a similar event promising “5km of colour bombardment” and a “royal rumble of colour” as the grand finale (all with a portion of the proceeds going to a local charity). Thankfully, Vancouver is in the tour dates and I can’t wait to participate. Upon registration, you are given the option to buy additional non-toxic colour powder packs and I, um, may have purchased quite a few. Whether The Color Run or Color Me Rad, I hope one of these Holi-like events is heading to your hometown (fingers crossed for expansion outside North America too). If you are in Vancouver, I will see you there! What a joyful way to spend a day with fellow colour lovers…

Met some folks in Atlanta covered in color right after Holi who said they’d been to a Color Run, and had never heard of Holi. So Atlanta has one (in late March/ early April).

Anyone knows where to purchase in Europe or online Holi like colour powder?
