Got a spare kilogram to dump? Need to blow out some cobwebs from dancing the previous night? Whatever your motivation, now is the chance to lace up and take off on an annual fun run that’s all about the colour. With an explosion of powder, it brings the spirit of India’s Holi Festival to Phuket through the medium of exercise. Besides signifying the triumph of good over evil, the Hindu festival marks the end of winter and the start of spring, so to celebrate, all along the 1.5km and 5km routes, runners pass through activity stations, including a climbing zone, hill challenge, puzzle-style maze adventure and aptly named splash tunnels and zones (yes, do prepare to be showered with coloured powder). The colourful fun doesn’t end at the finishing line – inflatable playgrounds and face paintings await at the post-run colour party, complete with live music.
Apr 4. Late-bird tickets B1,000 per person. Thanyapura Health & Sports Resort. 9am-noon
