Timeline

In March 2011, it was first held in Phoenix, Arizona with 6,000 people joined. [4] It was created by Travis Snyder, a Utah native and event producer.

Safety concerns

On June 27, 2015, a serious outdoors dust explosion occurred in Taiwan's New Taipei City due to colored cornstarch powder, injuring over 500 participants and causing 15 deaths. This brought public attention to the possible health and safety dangers of airborne powders [53] such as the combustible starch powder used by The Color Run. The Taiwanese government has since banned events islandwide involving combustible colored powder. [54]

On June 30, 2015, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a joint statement that they will assess all safety aspects associated with the use of colored powder before granting approval for the upcoming Color Run event to be held in Singapore. [55] Additional measures such as changing the colored powder to non-combustible materials such as colored water mist may be required before the event is given approval to proceed. [56]

Due to ongoing safety concerns, Shanghai called off its Color Run. [57] On 2 July 2015, Shenyang also decided to call off its Color Run and promised full refunds to all participants. [58]

Hong Kong officials also considered banning the use of colored powder spray in public events, and the cancellation of two upcoming events that employed the use of these colored powders – a music party called “Life in Color” scheduled to be held on July, 25 and “The Color Run” set for December 6, 2015. [59]

The Color Run has since returned to China where IMG hosted 5 events in 2016. [60]

The organizers of The Color Run have disclosed that the colored powders they use are "a combination of cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C dyes". [1] They have said they are committed to staging safe and secure events, asserting that they have "not had any fire-related incidents in over 500 events around the world involving more than 4 million participants". [1] [61] They have also stated that "as a professional events company with highly vetted policies and processes, we conduct thorough testing to ensure the safety of our materials and their application, and we are confident in the safety of our events". [62] However, details about the nature and extent of safety and health effects testing have not been publicly released.
