This is something I never heard of until now, sounds like people with too much free time on their hands.

Seems like a bad idea for a group of heavily-breathing people to deal with.

Amazing pics and info in the story. And as the guy points out, if one exposure does that to a camera and lens, what is it doing to their lungs? Amazing how small ad sticky the particles are.

Sounds like the sort of thing that would appeal to Obama voters.

Does this mean it’s okay to smoke again?

What is the substance that it can be considered completely safe when it’s in your lungs?

The only way that I would watch this is if they released wolves or lions as they shot off the color guns.

That would be worth photographing from a distance.

I don’t understand why all the bashing... the Color Run that was held here in Dallas donated the proceeds to the American Heart Association. I personally, don’t see that as a bad thing at all.

Colored Run? Shouldn’t it be “African-American Run”?

If it does that to a camera lens, just guess what it does to your lungs.

If it can get behind the glass lens of a camera, that bandito mask isn’t going to keep small (cancerous?) particles from being inhaled. Better have goggles on too and not sunglasses...

If there hasn’t been a Color Run 5k or 10k race near you, there probably will be soon. And with all that color, you certainly want to take some pictures, right?

Not necessarily, I mostly shoot (and process and print) 35mm black and white film.

I know Roger - not up close and personal, but I’ve done some business with Lensrentals.com. He’s a good person, and he’s doing this to protect his business.

The powder used in these color runs is very fine and can get into everything, even on weather-sealed lenses apparently.

I appreciate the warning, since these color runs are one of the latest “fads” in the running community.

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a $1500 lens!
