(VOV) - An estimated 5,000 athletes, city residents and visitors were bombarded on June 27 with more than one-tonne of different coloured paints during Danang’s first ever happiest five-kilometre run.
"It's wonderful! I think I had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life in the coastal city of Danang and will keep this colourful shirt as a reminder for the rest of my life,” said an Australian visitor.
Starting at Phan Dang Luu Street, runners jogged the five-kilometre course and were doused head to toe in a spectacle of colours at each kilometre marker.
The event dubbed – Colour Me Run – was inspired by the Holi Festival in India and has become an annual event in numerous countries around the globe.
