With Holi Colour Powder, your school can create a vibrant, inclusive event that encourages students to stay active in a fun way. A Colour Run combines exercise with excitement, helping students build teamwork, passion, and school pride while promoting healthy habits.


To take the fun up a notch, add simple obstacles like goalposts or sprinklers to lightly dampen shirts—this helps the color stick better, making the experience even more enjoyable!

The laughter and cheering will strengthen bonds and build pride in supporting their school.

Colour Run Success: Essential FAQs for Hosting Your Colour Run Event

How much Holi Colour Powder is needed?

We recommend 200-250g of powder per attendee using a squeeze bottle to reduce the rate of powder usage.

What do participants wear?

It is highly recommended to wear old clothes and shoes, as the powder can leave residue in the stitching. To add to the colourful affect wearing old, or cheap white clothes allows the colours to pop and creates an amazing array of colours among participants.

What do I need to purchase for the colour run?

For best value, it is recommended to purchase bulk boxes of Holi Colour Powder, and at least 3 full squeeze bottles. Once these bottles have run out, they can be easily refillled with the bulk colour powder. This method works perfectly with volunteers to continue refilling bottles. Our soft squeeze bottles are perfect for allowing the powder to be easily sprayed at participants.

Alternatively, squeeze bottles can be purchased from most value retailers, however are approximately $5 per unit. Thus, we our bottles are valued better as they retail at $9.99, full of coloured powder. If your event is lacking volunteer helpers to continually refill bottles, please opt for purchasing all prefilled bottles (350g).

Can this powder be cleaned?

Yes! Rest assured, all powder will wash off grass easily, however, it has been found more difficult to remove from concrete. Thus, this event is highly recommended to be held on a school oval, away from any concrete.
