Do you know about the Color Run? Some people say it's the happiest running experience in the world. The sport is a 5- km run where everyone throws colored dust(粉末) at each other. The sport is very popular in the US and it's getting more popular in China, too.
The sport is similar to an Indian holiday called Holi. The holiday came from stories about good beating evil(邪恶), but today it's about having fun. Everyone throws colored dust at each other and shouts" Happy Holi".
The Color Run doesn't have a time limit(限制), and there are no winners or prizes. The only rule is that runners have to start the race wearing all white. They want everyone to forget about competition and just enjoy the experience.
During the race, after every kilometer, there are people holding colored dust who will splash (泼洒) you with it. By the end of the race, the runners will be covered with all the colors.
