9. How is the color administered along the course?
   You will see smiling faces along the course whose main goal is to douse you in colorful powder to ensure that you look like you ran through a beautiful rainbow by the time you cross the finish line.

    At the Finish Festival, the crowd will be involved in a color throw every 15 minutes to welcome new runners coming in. We provide one bag of color for each runner as you cross the finish line
    
    
12. Will the color ruin clothes or running shoes?
    The color does mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful.
    
    
13. Do you have a cleaning station at the finish after party?
    We have air blown color cleaning at the finish line. With a good dusting off, you aren’t 100% clean, but you are good for the drive home. It is actually pretty fun to see people still colorful around town after The Color Run event.  It is like a badge of honor!
    
    
14. How does the color affect the inside of cars?
    Most people bring some towels for the insides of their cars, or a change of clothes just in case.
    
    
15. Do the kilometer Color Zones affect runner vision? Or breathing?
    The color powder used at The Color Run event is all certified non-toxic and free of any heavy metals. Our bright colors are a combination of cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C dyes. As with any substance, you want to keep it out of your eyes and our certified color throwers make sure to aim low as you pass by. Some Color Runners opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandana or dust mask for their mouths.
    
    
16. Are cameras and phones safe to have in the color zones?
    Our race photographers are generally fine shooting from a medium distance of 50 feet, but to be totally safe we always recommend covering cameras/phones with a protective dust wrap. Those colorful powder particles are sneaky and The Color Run is not liable for any damage that might be done to your camera!
    
    
17. Is The Color Run timed?
    The Color Run 5k is not a timed event. Runners tend to take their sweet time out there and we realized no one really cares about their speed. We suggest self-timing for anyone desiring a finish time.
    
    
18. Are there refunds?
    If an event is held as advertised, we cannot issue refunds. The logistics of setting up and planning the event make it impossible. Just make sure you are good to go before signing up. If for some reason you can’t make it to race day, at least come to the Check-In Party, pick up your gear, and say hi to us!
    
    
19. Can I transfer my registration to another person?
    Registrations are non-transferable. If you end up not being able to attend the event, you can transfer your registration to another city (details in next question) in the same calendar year or for a small shipping fee we can mail you your participant kit if you are unable to pick it up at the Check-In Party.
    
    
20. Can I transfer my registration from one city to another city?
    We do allow transfers from city to city. As long as the transfer is within the same calendar year, the transfer is completed prior to the original event taking place and prior to the participant checking-in for the original event. Contact us here for further questions.
    
    
21. What if I am pregnant?
    It’s totally up to what you and your doctor decide. The powder is all certified non-toxic. We recommend wearing sunglasses or goggles, and a bandana over your mouth and nose in the color zones just for extra protection.
    
    
22. What happens if there is bad weather?
