BANGKOK, Thailand – On your marks, get set, go! Fragrant Property and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration today announce “The Color RunTM presented by Fragrant Property” is returning to Bangkok for a second year. The Tropicolor experience will be the most memorable 5k of your life in which thousands of “Color Runners” are doused from head to toe in different colors at each kilometre. The happiest 5K on the planet, and with a new start/finish at Airport Rail Link Makkasan Station, Bangkok is again set to be bathed in color on the evenings of Saturday 15th October and Sunday 16th October.
The fun doesn't stop at the finish line. It continues after the race with the best post-5K party on the planet at the Finish Festival which includes the huge Color Throwing Festival, along with the DJ party, dancing and fun activities from sponsors for all.
The Color Run™ Tropicolor World Tour 2016 marks the fifth anniversary of the global series and organisers are bringing that vacation feel to the city of Bangkok. With more fun, more sun, and even more colors than ever before, The Color RunTM Thailand 2016 is open for everyone from two years old to 80 years old, beginners to seasoned athletes.
Presented by leading Thailand developer Fragrant Property Public Company Limited, Pada Vorakanon, Vice President, Corporate Branding Division, Fragrant Property PLC, said “At Fragrant Property it is important that we understand people's lifestyle requirements. We can discern the importance of living a healthy and sustainable lifestyle where mind and soul reside in harmony and it is this harmony that is one of the main factors that will help create genuine happiness among our residents. With this in mind, we use imported world-class exercise equipment in all our condominiums, underscoring our vision of the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. We hope that The Color RunTM presented by Fragrant Property can inspire people to care more about their health. This vision is portrayed in the analogous brand logo which aims at creating a fun and carefree environment for the runners and their loved ones. Moreover, we hope that this event can act as a stepping stone, helping spread awareness and transform Bangkok into one of the world’s healthiest cities.’’
