Color Run Saturday downtown

To some, the Color Run is considered the happiest 5k on the planet. Like other running events, the race celebrates healthiness and giving back to the community. Unlike other running events, the event is a “paint race” where participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer. At the finish line, there’s a “color festival,” with an even bigger color fight. The only rules—have fun, wear white and be covered in bright colors at the finish line.

The Baton Rouge Color Run starts at 10 a.m. at 351 Lafayette St. and will go through downtown. For more information, click here.
