Color Fun Fest St. Louis
Come join us as we combine two of the most EPIC festivals in the world. Color Fun Fest brings the Holi Festival and the electronic dance movement together for the first time with a day and night glowing color 5K run.
As day transforms into night and the dust settles from our day color run, we power up the strongest blacklights in the world to transition our day color run into a nighttime 5k color run festival called Color Fun Fest.
Join us at the finish line as we celebrate life with an after party of mass color and high voltage dance music. Come one, come all, come spend your weekend with your family, friends and loved ones to create an EPIC night you will never forget.

Make life easier for you! Come pick up your race packets the day before at our exclusive pickup location to avoid waiting in lines and paying an extra $5.00 on event day. There is a $5 fee for picking up packets on event day. Details on packet pick-up locations will be posted soon. Your packet includes a Color Fun Fest bib, pins and a FREE color packet.
Color Fun Fest is not about how fast you can run, but about how much fun you can have with your friends, family, and loved ones. During March Madness, team captains that organize groups of 10 or more adult runners will receive a FREE entry to Color Fun Fest!
