Lets look at how much powder you will need, Lets face it a colour run without colour is just a run !
HOW MANY PEOPLE?
A good idea of the numbers of people attending will be needed to do the maths
DISPENSING THE POWDER
How are we dispensing the powder? Are we setting up stations along the route and using bulk boxes? Or are we supplying individual bags? Or both?
HOW LONG IS THE COURSE
How long is the course? How many laps the runners will do? All of these things will need to be taken into consideration when working out how much powder you need.
GENERAL POWDER QUANTITIES
Before you look at purchasing bulk boxes or individual packs, please consider the following.
Bulk boxes are a great way to dispense powder effectively, but people like to throw there own from individual bags. This is a great opportunity to sell additional bags on the day and raise further funds.
Recently however the use of paper cups has become more popular as away to supply and distribute runners with powder they require. It not only does away for the need of unnecessary disposable plastic bags, but is a more cost effective way for you to purchase, and help save the planet along the way.
Below are our normal recommendations for events.
| No of People | 10kg Boxes | 100gm Bags |
