ESSENTIAL FAQ's:
Find out our expert tips and tricks to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible!
How much Holi Powder is needed?
We recommend allocating 200-250g of powder per participant, using squeeze bottles to help control and reduce the amount of powder used.
What should participants wear?
It’s best to wear old clothes and shoes, as the powder can sometimes leave residue in the stitching. For a more colorful effect, wearing an old or inexpensive white outfit will make the colours stand out beautifully, creating a stunning display among participants.
What supplies are needed for the Colour Run?
To get the best value, we suggest purchasing bulk boxes of Holi Powder and at least 3 squeeze bottles. Once the bottles are empty, they can be easily refilled from the bulk supply. This setup works well with volunteers who can help with refilling the bottles. Our soft squeeze bottles make it easy to spray powder at participants, as this reduces the rate of powder usage.
Alternatively, squeeze bottles are available at many retailers for around $5 each. However, our bottles offer better value, retailing at $9.80 pre-filled with 500ml coloured powder.
If your event has limited volunteer support, we recommend opting for pre-filled bottles to avoid the need for constant refills.
Is the powder easy to clean?
Yes! The powder washes off grass easily. However, it can be harder to remove from concrete, so it's highly recommended to hold the event on a school oval or grassy area, away from concrete surfaces.
