After driving through the gridlock for almost thirty minutes, they arrived at the starting line. They also had to navigate the crowd of people before arriving at the registration stand.
When she heard ”color run,” she assumed it was a local festival. She did not know it was an international event

Kim did not expect it to be a 5,000 meters run and registration was almost a D100. She was not even aware of the event in the first place. Kim was sure she couldn't run even a thousand metres, and this was five. Shaking her head, she recalled saying she would watch and not participate.
But before she could say it again, Sean handed her a white tee, a white headband and the participation kit. Turns out he had to pay extra for the participation kit.
Looking at the banners and flyers, it was a Rainbow Tour. Without much thought, she concluded it was for the LGBTQ community. It's not news that the rainbow symbolizes pride.
The number of people, Kim was sure was in thousands. She could not deny that she was scared of crowded places because she always felt something could go wrong and then a stampede.
Star Country was relatively safe, she was well aware of that fact but crowded, crampy and noisy places made her panicky. Maybe it wasn't a good idea after all but thankfully she was with people she knew.
While Kim tried to calm her panicking heart, Isabella began looking around, taking pictures, posting them online. Sean acted like their father, guarding and watching over them.
Since it was a casual outing with friends, they all work tees and running shoes. So they were prepared for the run. Both Isabella and Sean wore denim trousers while Kim wore shorts. She didn't have thigh gap like Isabella so she became worried her thighs would chaff after running and sweating for a while. Suddenly, wearing shorts became a bad idea.
Those watching and those throwing the color had taken their places. Those participating too had began taking their place at the starting line.
The colours beginning with red would be thrown at them every fifteen minutes. and the different colors stations where 714 meters away from each other to make up for the distance.
”How do I protect my eyes?” Isabella pointed out a problem.
”About that, they are out of goggles, so try to protect them yourself.” Explained Sean.
”Oh well, let's take a group picture.” Isabella quickly changed the topic. She was eager to show her followers all the fun she was having.
