New headline sponsor for The Color Run Jozi

The Color Run is brighter, shinier and happier this year, with the introduction glitter powder. The event is designed to uplift and inspire runners to stand out from the crowd, sweat sparkles and continue to live their lives in a happy and healthy way. Get ready for special shine elements at the Finish Festival. This is the year to unleash your inner sparkle.

"The Color Run is bigger and better than ever, and that's thanks in part to the fact that South Africa's happiest bank, Capitec Bank, has come on board as the headline sponsor," said Leon Swanepoel, The Color Run South Africa event producer.

"And, it is about so much more than just one day, which is why we are thrilled to have a sponsor that shares The Color Run's passion for social upliftment," added Swanepoel.

Capitec Bank and The Color Run have partnered the Adopt-a-School Foundation and are donating R10 from every ticket sold to support education in each city hosting The Color Run.

"We were able to raise over R40,000 for Ndukwenhle High School in Umlazi Township when The Color Run came to Durban. We're drumming up support and awareness by taking a giant takkie on The Color Run tour - come and check it out in Joburg," said Nel.
