The most colorful fun run of the year. Its great to start the year with wonderful run at Colors Manila Run 2. The event was composed of 3k, 5k and 10k category. Different ages and nationalities join the most epic run of the year as they was splash with powdered color as they run in the road. Thousand of runners participated in this epic run. Runners start their run with white colored shirt and run in the road and must pass by some color booths. Different colors that runners must pass by are pink, blue, yellow, green, orange and violet.
Each color booth has different theme, they have castled themed booth, festival booth, superheroes booth etc. to add up the excitement in the run. This is one epic run of the year since runners are not contented by the powder that the booth marshal throw, they get some and throw it on their friends, some roll at the road to gain colors, some lay down in the colored road.

I was assigned as a marshal in the yellow booth, I arrive at the football field around 2am since it was the said calltime and we must wear yellow shirt and must bring a mask (i don't have a mask) but our leader told me that it is ok if i don't have mask, just wear yellow shirt. When we arrive the area, we waiting some time waiting for the signal of the coordinator to bring us to our booth location. Around 4:30am, we arrive at our booth location, our location is at the u turn slot in the 5k category.

Only the 5k and 10k category pass our booth, you can see the happiness of the runners while running at the road. You see their shirt with different splash of colors. Even if we are returning to the venue using a truck, runners are willing to be splashed by our yellow powder. Runners want to get their shirt colorful as they could, combining different colors and leaving no trace of white in their respective shirt. Runners don't care about the ranking, all they care about is being dirty with colors with fun and excitement.
