Spring 2022

COLOR RUN: CELEBRATING HOLI AND SONGKRAN

Join AAPI Montclair for a 5K and 1-mile Fun Run to celebrate the Hindu festival of Holi and Songkran, the Thai New Year.

 

This event combines two joyous festivals. Holi is a popular Hindu festival, also known as the "Festival of Colors" and the "Festival of Spring." On the day of Holi, entire streets and towns turn red, green and yellow as people throw colored powder into the air and splash them on others. Songkran in Thai means "to move" or "change place." Thai believe that water is purifying: it cleanses you of any bad luck or grievances from the past year, and blesses you with fortune and happiness for the year ahead. Songkran is known for its water festival and people celebrate by engaging in water fights.


Racers will run a closed course inside Brookdale Park and will be splashed at the end with colored powder and water. There will be a color- and splash-free option for racers who prefer to opt out.
