The Color Run \u2013 a fun family 5km run – is coming to Durban on 12 July starting at the Green Hub at the Blue Lagoon, and organisers announce a bolder, brighter event for the 2015 series.<\/p>\n

The Color Run set to paint Durban all shades of extraordinary<\/h3>\n

10 June 2015 \u2013 The Color Run\u2122 2015 will be hitting Durban on 12 July 2015.\u00a0 \u201cThe happiest 5km on the planet\u201d promises to be brighter, shinier and happier this year with some exciting new additions to the usual format.<\/p>\n

Participating in this year\u2019s event will be done in the true spirit of Ubuntu. Color Runners can expect nothing like ever before, with this year\u2019s run including in-race obstacles a sprinkle of glitter and a few other surprises.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Color Run is bigger and better than ever, and that\u2019s thanks in part to the fact that South Africa\u2019s happiest bank, Capitec Bank, has come on board as the headline sponsor,\u201d says Leon Swanepoel, The Color Run South Africa event producer.<\/p>\n

Having had huge success in Port Elizabeth in May, with over 7 000 Color Runners experiencing the bigger, better and shinier format, The Color Run promises to bring an event to remember for locals and tourists alike to the Durban leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, it is about so much more than just one day, which is why we are thrilled to have a sponsor such as Capitec Bank, which shares The Color Run\u2019s passion for social upliftment,\u201d says Swanepoel. \u201cThanks to Capitec Bank\u2019s generous sponsorship, we were able to raise over R53 000 for a local nursery school in Port Elizabeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCapitec Bank is really excited to be on board with The Color Run, because we share the same values. Like The Color Run, we also believe in health, happiness, individuality, giving back, living life in technicolour and having fun, while caring about the community. Durban is going to be spectacular, and we can\u2019t wait to be there,\u201d says Charl Nel, head of communications at Capitec Bank.<\/p>\n

The Durban leg of The Color Run is raising funds for education and Capitec Bank has committed a R10 donation for every ticket purchased towards this cause.<\/p>\n

The Color Run is the single largest 5km event series in the world, which hosted more than 300 events in over 50 countries in 2014. Registration for Durban is open!<\/p>\n

Every runner will receive a R200 voucher from Takealot.com for the purchase of The Color Run powder and merchandise, as well as a R200 voucher from Superbalist to be redeemed against a minimum spend of R250.<\/p>\n

Charity and school fundraising is a big part of The Color Run. Register your school or charity on the Fun Raiser program and raise R20 for every ticket sold under your unique Fun Raiser code.\u00a0 To give back, contact The Color Run on hello@thecolorrun.co.za .<\/p>\n

Tickets are available on line from The Color Run website (http:\/\/thecolorrun.co.za) and Facebook (www.facebook.com\/TheColorRunSouthAfrica). Get your early bird special now, available until 22nd June 2015 for only R100. Thereafter, individual ticket prices are R150 and R200 on the day.<\/p>\n
