The Color Run (a.k.a “the happiest 5k on the planet”) is just four weeks away, Philly, and registration is still open. You know we’ll be there covering the event on April 25. And a bonus: The Color Run’s nighttime sister race just set a date to return to the area on October 10, 2015.

Here’s how it works: individual and team runners compete in an untimed 5k race and get blasted with paint at numerous “color stations” throughout the course. Since its inception in 2011, the race’s popularity has surged across the globe. They hosted over 300 events in over 50 countries last year.

The April daytime run will take place on the Camden waterfront, beginning and ending just under the Ben Franklin Bridge. (Check out the course map below.)

While chucking paint and watching people run is a worthy cause in and of itself, the for-profit Color Run highlights some charity work as well. This year they’re partnering with Back on My Feet, a non-profit that uses running to combat homelessness.

The Color Run Night, while six months away, is expected to draw an even bigger crowd. It’s the same as the daytime one, except with glow-in-the-dark paint. Its first breakout in Philly last year was a huge success. There’s no word where the event will be held yet. Registration coming soon.
