The Holi Fest 5k Color Run & Walk is a five-kilometer, timed event for athletes and for those who are doing it just for the cause and fun! At each kilometer mark, Holi Fest 5k Color Runners and Walkers are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder! Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in beautiful colors!
Once the race is over, the fun continues at the Finish Holi Festival, a larger-than-life party equipped with Music, Mantra Chanting, Yoga, Dancing, Photo ops, Activity booths for kids, vendors, and more massive color throws, which create millions of vivid color combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5K party on the planet!
Holi Fest Runners vary in demographics and reasons for running. Official times posted routinely for those who are competitive and winners presented with official times after the last runner. The Holi Fest 5k Color Run & walk caters to everyone—first time runners, walkers to seasoned athletes. More than half of our participants are first-time 5K runners.
The Adi Yoga Foundation and USA Sanatan are proud to be a catalyst that inspires our participants to live a more active and healthy lifestyle, on top of having fun!

Wave Start Times
Wave 1: 9:00 am - 9:10 am
Wave 2: 9:15 am -- 9:25 am
Wave Start Details:
In an effort to ease congestion along the course, the race features wave starts. A wave start consists of staggered starts of groups instead of one giant start for all participants. Runners are placed in “waves” consisting of other runners of a similar pace. Each wave has its own start with a short “time cushion” between each wave. We hope the wave start creates a safer, more enjoyable experience for all participants.
