The Rainbow Day & Run is coming to Champéry on Saturday, August 17, 2024!
From 11:00 am, plunge into a world of color with entertainment for all! Make-up, glitter, ephemeral tattoos… And for those with a sweet tooth, delicious stalls with cotton candy, syrups and ice creams! And don’t forget to treat yourself to some colorful and tasty dishes from our local restaurateurs!
At 4:00 p.m., it’s time for the Color Run! You’ll be running in an explosion of color and fun!
Practical information:
– Colorful entertainment from 11am until the start of the race at 4pm.
– A host of fun and gourmet stands to delight young and old (face painting, glitter, ephemeral tattoos, cotton candy, syrups, ice creams, etc.) to have fun or start the race colorful.
– Colorful dishes from restaurateurs.
– You can park your car in the cable car’s large parking lot.
– Rainbow Day & Run is fun, colorful and for the whole family!
– Stands maintained in case of bad weather
– Race cancelled in case of bad weather
Information for the race at 4:00 pm:
– This maximum 5 KM untimed run is a unique event that celebrates health, happiness and individuality.
– The Rainbow Run can be done running, walking, hopping – it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re having a good time. No need to be an athlete!
– Every 600m of the course corresponds to a “color zone” (green, yellow, pink, blue…) where our volunteers will sprinkle you with 100% natural cornstarch-based color powder. Dressed in your best white T-shirt, you’ll then have to cross all the colored zones before crossing the finish line – as colorfully as possible, of course!
– This race is as much for adults as it is for families and children, and for runners and walkers alike.
– The aim is simple: fun before competition!
– Everyone starts at the same time at 4:00 p.m. (RDV in front of Champéry’s Place de jeu at 3:30 p.m.).
Recommended equipment for the race:
– Wear “non-damage” clothing, as colors can stain. White T-shirt preferred, if possible
– Don’t hesitate to wear fun accessories (buoy, cap, sunglasses, fluorescent accessories, etc.).
– A bottle of water.
Information on coloured powders:
– Eyes: no risk to your eyes! For people who use contact lenses, we recommend the use of glasses. If you get any in your eyes, don’t hesitate to rinse your face with water.
– Clothing: the powder is water-washable, so it can be washed off clothing after use.
– Mouth and nose: Breathing: the powder is made from corn starch. It does not irritate the throat or lungs. For people with asthma or respiratory problems, we recommend the use of a protective mask.
– Hair: No risk to hair, which can be easily rinsed after using the powder. Bleached hair, which is more sensitive, should be protected.
– Skin: no risk to the skin, even after several hours in contact with your skin. After a good shower, you’ll have no trace of the colored powder you’ve used.
Closing time:
– 09:00 to 18:00: Rue du Village between Hôtel National and Café du Nord closed.
– 14:00 to 17:00: Rue du Village between Hôtel National and Route de Chavalet will be disrupted. Volunteers will be on hand to keep traffic flowing at the children’s park.
