Fun Run: Hello to My Color Manila Experience #colourfulphotography

yellowbyheart (47)in #colourfulphotography • 7 years ago

Nowadays, athletes or not, people are starting to get active with various running events even at the point of just joining for fun. As the years goes by, we witness how these events evolve into a unique and more conceptualized.

Like Color Manila Run! Yes, you perhaps heard of it or probably joined in their previous fun run because if not well you missed half the opportunity of a unique and fun running experience.

The Color Manila basically started the concept of colorful fun runs in the Philippines. Amazing right? from different costumes to colorful themed, they are genius in running events.

The first time I joined was year 2016 with the help of my friends who are active on social media. No doubt colorful fun run became a huge hit in the country because people are burned-out with typical running events.

Colors of Freedom - Independence Day Run

I was all giddy with joy as I put the afro wig on the day of the run and I honestly looked like the blonde hair Whitney Houston or maybe I was exaggerated. But honestly it was fun to watch when everybody begun to run wearing different colors of afro wigs despite too much sweating on the head with fake wigs blocking the air.

The event was held exactly on independence day so while some are gathering on different areas of the country to celebrate, we on the other hand are in BGC commemorating in the form of running to express our love for Philippine Independence.

The second time was 2017 last year then again with group of friends. This time the color manila was celebrating their 5th year anniversary so the event was held in a larger space which can accommodate thousands of runners.

Color Manila Run Year 5

Compare to my first fun run, this was my favorite because a lot of activites happen and their theme was American native indian or moreso tribal concept. I was so excited with my racing kit as it includes drifit shirt, racing bib, sun glasses, color powder packet and finisher's medal with dream catcher as the design. PicsArt_01-17-06.11.45.jpg
Everyone was eager to start the race and the fun part was every station gave runners a different shades of color from pink, blue, green, purple and yellow.
The event ended with upbeat music and party but the highlight was splashing colored powders in the air with the whole gang splurged with different colors.

It was a year to remember and hoping to join again!

We are keeping a look-out for color runs in Bangkok. There was one last year, which we skipped due a trip to Siem Reap. We also want to do something like 'Tough Mudder' or 'Spartan Race' - obstacle race.
