If you are organizing a Colour Run for your first time, it might be hard to plan correctly and guess the right amount of Colour Powder needed.
How do I plan the right amount of Colour Powder for my Colour Run?
It is not really possible to know perfectly the right amount of Colour Powder needed, because many things can affect the usage of it during a Colour Run. Those are examples of what can affect the needs of Colour Powder :
- The number of colour stations
- The number of colours
- The number of runners
- How the runners will be spread or not (less colour powder is needed when they are close together when passing the colour stations)
- The generosity of your volunteer throwing the Colour Powder
It might be hard to predict, but we’ve got a simple way of calculating your needs based on our experiences. At first, you will need to know :
- The number of runners
- The number of colour stations
Then, you should be considering this :
- For every 100 runners, you will need 1 Premium Colour Powder Bulk 25Lbs per colour station.
For an example, if you have 1000 runners with 5 stations, you should calculate your needs this way :
- 1000/100 x 5 = 50 boxes of Premium Colour Powder Bulk 25Lbs
For another example, if you have 500 runners with 4 stations, you will get that result :
- 500/100 x 4 = 20 boxes of Premium Colour Powder Bulk 25Lbs
It’s simple has that. Also, if you have the budget for it and you want to go all out, you can order more and it will be even more colorful.
How long the Colour Powder last?
The Color Powder can also be used later on if it is still in its original undamaged package and in a dry storage. That way, it could last more than a year after your ordered the Colour Powder. So if your having less runners than you first planned, if your event got canceled or if your ordered a little too much, you could use it again next year!
