The 2017 Colour Run was a festival filled with fun, running and colour. –By Lwando Njamela

Thousands of enthusiastic runners made their way to the Green Point A Track in Cape Town this past weekend to experience the ‘happiest 5km on the planet’. These are our favourite snaps from the day.

Looking like Art. ? Feeling like a fart. #capetown #capetowncolourrun #colourrun #capiteccolorrun
