The Color Run: Adelaide runners enjoy a splash of colour

Enthusiastic Adelaide runners enjoyed a splash of colour this morning as part of The Color Run event held at Victoria Park Racecourse.

The event, also known as the 'Happiest 5k on the Planet' saw runners race around a course while being doused in different coloured powder.

The five-kilometre run is aimed to celebrate healthiness, happiness and individuality.

At the end of the event, participants can take part in a colour throw with family and friends.

Participants can use the run to raise money for a charity of their choice.
