The five-kilometer Color Run, a rehearsal for the Moscow Marathon, has gathered more than 7,000 runners.
The event is a most spectacular stage of the Moscow Marathon. At every one-kilometer passage, the runners are powdered in different colors, and fireworks welcome runners at the finish line.
According to reports, every year the organizers register growing numbers of participants. The series of monthly events began in April by the first five-kilometer run, and a half-marathon in Moscow was in May.
A night run for 10 kilometers is due on July 15, and another run is set for August 13. The Moscow Marathon is planned for September 24.
