"The Color Run is bigger and better than ever, and that's thanks in part to the fact that South Africa's happiest bank, Capitec Bank, has come on board as the headline sponsor," said Leon Swanepoel, The Color Run South Africa event producer.
Heart FM, the city's biggest radio station, is the official media partner of The Color Run in Cape Town for the third consecutive year. Heart FM DJs will be on the decks to welcome Color Runners with awesome beats as the run gets under way.
Brighter, shinier and happier this year, with the introduction of glitter powder, the event is designed to uplift and inspire runners to stand out from the crowd, sweat sparkles, and continue to live their lives in a happy and healthy way. Get ready for special shine elements at the Finish Festival.
"And, it is about so much more than just one day, which is why we are thrilled to have a sponsor that shares The Color Run's passion for social upliftment," said Swanepoel.
Capitec Bank and The Color Run have partnered the Adopt-a-School Foundation and are donating R10 from every ticket sold to support education in each city hosting The Color Run. "To raise awareness for Adopt-a-School, we built a giant tekkie in which we will display the materials needed and purchased for the school identified in the area. The giant tekkie has been touring along with The Color Run, so don't miss it in Cape Town," said Charl Nel, Head of Communications of Capitec Bank.
