Question 1

","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

There will be no changing facilities or a cloakroom on the day, so everything you bring with you must accompany you on the run or remain with a family/friend spectating. Take care not to leave valuables unattended on show in your vehicle. Caudwell Children are unable to store valuables and cannot take any responsibility for and loss or damage to belongings.

We will have a clean down area to dust off the majority of the paint after the run. Why not bring a plastic bag to cover your car seats for the journey home.

No, you can run, walk, skip, crawl or dance the distance – super fitness not required. The idea is to have fun and adventure while raising vital funds for disabled children and being drenched in beautiful colour. Please note that the 5km route is not flat and does involve a few hills.

Volunteers at colour stations spread throughout the course will throw coloured powder over you as you pass (aiming in the air or at your body not your face). You can use your own purple paint bag at the beginning in the designated throwing zone for spectators and participants.

Question 2

","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

Yes, the powder paint is non-toxic and safe to use. HoliColour Paint powder is provided in EU-certified colours, with corn flour as the primary ingredient. Paint colourings are E-number / food additives commonly used in the food industry across the EU and the USA. To enhance safety, specific minerals are incorporated that make Holi Colours non-flammable and non-combustible.

We would also advise participants to wear sunglasses and bandana around the mouth/nose to prevent powder from going into your mouth or eyes.

Accepted Answer

","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

Don’t worry – it will do no harm. If it goes in your eyes a simple rinse with water will take care of it. If you accidentally swallow some it will taste like coloured dirt – not nice but not harmful as it is natural cornstarch with food grade colours. The best way to avoid getting it in your eye is to wear sunglasses and a bandana/ dust mask over your mouth.

="}},{"@type=":"Question=","name=":"How do I get the powder off? ","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

he easiest way is to get it off while it is still fresh and dry - shake, wriggle, jump up and down. Then use a soft brush. After that soap and water with a little rinse and repeat action. There will be a designated area on the day for you to brush off most of the paint. Please note that changing rooms are not available. If you are not changing, bring something to sit on in the car/bus/train – a towel, dustbin bag etc

However, it’s not unusual for some pigment to linger in the creases of the skin or beneath the nails. It’s important to note that some colouring may leave a slight sheen behind. Blonde hair tends to be more affected, and hair that has been previously dyed or bleached can absorb colour more readily.

="}},{"@type=":"Question=","name=":"Will the paint powder damage the environment? ","acceptedAnswer=":{"@type=":"Answer=","text=":"

There are clean up squads at each colour station ensuring the paint powder is cleaned away. Most of the powder will be taken away. However, as the powder is biodegradable the rest will be rinsed away with water.
