Charity Run to Color Lumpini Park

BANGKOK — Lumpini Park will be awash with color for an annual charity run Saturday.

Instead of a sweat-soaked day run, Colour Miles for Smiles returns for its fourth year for a 5-kilometer charity race to take place in the evening so the bodies and smiles of racers can literally glow under its “neon” theme.

The charity race will start just before sunset at the Entertainment Building on the park’s east side. Runners will race through routes in the park while throwing photoluminescent powder at the finish line together. That powder is said to be nontoxic. Its flammability was not mentioned.

Registration opens along with games, food and drinks between 3:30pm to 5pm before the run starts at 5:30pm.
