PHOTOS: Thousands celebrate Brooklyn color run
Welcome to the world’s happiest 5K.
More than 10,000 people were doused in color at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn last Saturday and Sunday as part of “The Happiest 5K On The Planet.”
The for-profit run/walk where runners are given white t-shirts and a colorful headband before sending them off to pass through four different stations where they are dusted with blue, purple, green and yellow dyed cornmeal that covers their clothes and, especially, their skin.
After the run is over, participants take part in a huge dance party with DJs pumping EDM songs to keep everyone having fun while they continued to douse each other with color packets that are dispersed throughout the crowd.
