Let me reseach here between from graffiti run and color run.  I have ran at both events in the city.   I have noticed them had taste about their events.  They have same idea of throw powders but the way they make the time is different.   What their plan for the day, size and social?

Graffiti Run has made the time of apart counting out in  9am group and 10am group at the start.    They showed Fun time on the stage in waiting area where the start and finish are.  The area is grassy and share the road.   The runners/walkers has their familes and friends stay in the waiting area.  They had 2 colors on right side for going forward then grab water at the end, go in 2 more color on right side backward on the same road.   I know it is county road but follow the yellow line, not crossed.   The size is average of people from between the time in 9am group and 10am group.   The social is near the stage and parking lot is wide around on dirt and grass, no black top.   Pro photographers took their time to picture on each runners.  Toliet is in the waiting area, no another add on the road.   I had two glossary pictures from two sides. 

Color Run has all one group at 9am and made it in about 15 minutes apart in time at the start.  Too crowded at street, it reminds me one of walk with breast cancer.   Largest number of runners/walkers on the street and the Park is full in lines for water and store.  I have not chance see the Fun time on the stage, just yet.  I do see they have their families and friends stand by at each scene from street to street.   The size is wide and own street to street from start to finish at other next street.  All 4 colors at scene on the streets,  no end where can grab the water.   They been stopped alot of time to take photos at color scenes and had toliets at each scenes, too.  There is toliets available at the Park where everyone meet.  One scene had water people on the side and long line.  In my surprise,  runners/walkers did stopped at gas station in one scene!   There is no pro photographers and impossible to take each runners/walkers….they had someone stand there at each scenes to take photo for you.   The social is at the Park and very crowd!   I never find my group….there.

Enjoy my day on both events.   April 2013 with Graffiti Run and September 2013 with Color Run.

Cheer!
