Planning Your Colour Run
How Much Powder Do You Need?
Before purchasing your colour powder, consider the following key factors:
1. Number of Participants
The number of attendees will determine the total amount of powder required. A well-stocked event ensures a fantastic experience, so estimate numbers early to avoid shortages.
2. Dispensing the Powder
Are you setting up powder stations along the course with bulk boxes, handing out individual bags, or using a mix of both? Some organisers now prefer using paper cups as a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative to plastic bags.
3. Course Length and Laps
The length of the course and the number of laps per participant will impact the total powder required. A longer course means more opportunities for vibrant bursts of colour
