Convince Your Boss To Send You And Your Team To Independence Color Run
15/06/20235 Reasons Why You Should Volunteer at the INDE PEN DENCE Color Run
22/12/2023We are counting down to event day and we are looking forward to hosting all our walkers, joggers, dancers, and riders at this year’s edition of the Independence Color Run. If you have never been to any of the previous editions, you will note that this is not your ordinary 5km sprint, it is an opportunity for everyone (fit or unfit) to take part in celebrating Uganda and doing good at the same time. In preparation, here are 5 tips that will help you maximize your enjoyments
TIP #1: Wear Sunglasses
We encourage participants to wear sunglasses (colored ones if available). Aside from making you look, they also help to keep you safe from an accidental spill of color powder. Our color powder is 100% safe and non-toxic but can cause temporary irritation to the eyes as any other powder. In the event you get any powder spilled into your eyes during the event, there will be a medical bay where you can be attended to by medical professionals.
TIP #2: Wear White
Instead of the glory coming from being the first person across the final line, the fun comes from the photos participants can later share with friends & family of themselves covered in different colors and the joy of trying to finish the race being more colorful than their friends. Wearing white will help you show off your colorful self. We recommend that you purchase a color kit that includes an official t-shirt, however, if you purchase an entry pass, you will have to come in your own apparel or upgrade your entry pass to a color kit.
TIP #3: Protect Your Hair
Worried about your hair? Simply wearing a bandana, hat, or other hair covering will help to keep as much color out of your hair as possible. In the event color powder does make its way to your crown, our 100% natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable color powder easily washes out with regular shampoo or soap.
TIP #4: Charge Your Phone
As stated earlier, the reward from the Independence Color Run does not come from being 1st to cross the finish line, it comes from the photos you will take to share with your friend and family for years to come. Losing battery power halfway through the event is a missed opportunity for everyone so come with fully charged phones and/or a power bank. We will have a charging station on site but to be safe and ensure that you don’t miss crucial moments, do the needful.
