Described as the “happiest 5k on the planet” or “the happiest 5 km in the world”, the Color Run is a racing event inspired by the Holi festival of Indian Spring. All participants start in white t-shirts. After each kilometre, the runners are covered with colored powder. The goal is to reach the finish line as colorful as possible. The Color Run™ isn’t about being the fastest or achieving exceptional performances. It is all about the fun! The highlight of the Color Run™ is the Finisher Festival in the festival area. Cool DJs, amazing music, and even more amazing color throws will be provided.

Yoga is a great way for kids to increase awareness of themselves, others and the world, while having fun! Yoga is a wonderful way for children to stay (or become) confident, strong, balanced and healthy. Yoga engages a child’s natural boundless energy and conveys valuable lessons in positive thinking, body and mind awareness. Each class is alive with magical journeys where we meet with animals, fly an airplane or drive a car, grow into a tree or imitate the ocean waves, all in the form of dynamic yoga poses. This class is taught in English and French by Anna Svensson.
