The Color Run Festival Returns To Egypt: All You Need to Know + Ticket Prices

Get ready for the most joyful, vibrant, and nostalgic event of the year, The Color Run festival is back in Egypt on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at O West, and it’s bringing a full-on throwback party!

Dubbed “The Happiest 5K on the Planet,” this year’s edition is a color-filled journey through time. You’ll run, walk, or dance your way through five fun-packed kilometers, each inspired by a different decade — from groovy ‘70s disco vibes to Gen Z’s digital cool. Expect bursts of color, music, and pure joy at every turn.

The Color Run Festival in Egypt invites participants to put on their whitest (and most disposable!) t-shirts and run for five untimed kilometers, while getting absolutely doused in a different color at each kilometer mark. By the end, you’ll be covered from head to toe in vibrant hues — a walking rainbow of happiness! It’s all about fun, movement, and making memories, not speed or competition.


The fun kicks off early, so don’t be late! Gates open at 8:00 AM, with warm-up sessions starting at 9:00 AM to get you energized. Don’t forget your e-ticket, race kit, and sunglasses — and come dressed to get messy (in the best way possible)!

No lockers are available, so travel light, and remember: run tickets grant access to the epic Finish Festival, which kicks off at 11:30 AM. Expect music, dancing, giveaways, snacks, and the coveted Unicorn Medal to celebrate your victory.

Want to level up your style? The merch store will be open early, perfect for grabbing colorful accessories before the race starts.
