The Historical Origin of Rainbow Race

Rainbow Run is an extension of Holi Festival, a traditional Indian festival, which advocates healthy life and focuses on happy running.

In 20 13, Zhejiang Tourism Festival was held in Xianju, and Zhuxi Town Government planned to take this opportunity to launch Fangyan Tianchi Peak Scenic Area, which was handed over to Xianju Mountaineering Association and Eye-Touching the Earth Outdoor Club to make a promotion plan. Wang, the layman and Xiang Qingfeng will form a planning team, and it is planned to combine the Tianchi Peak of Zhuyi Fangyan with Yangfeng Mountain, a famous photography base where photographers shoot terraces. Among them, the plan related to rainbow running is as follows: there are five colors in the soil, five elements in heaven and earth, and everything is born of five elements. Yangfeng Mountain is a famous grain producing area, and it has always had a tradition of celebrating harvest. In the plan, the powder of five grains was dyed in five colors: blue, red, white, black and yellow, and then ran to Zhuxi from the foot of Fangyan, and all the way to Zhuxi.

This part of the budget originally planned by the government was 600,000 yuan. Later, due to safety, environmental protection, cost and other reasons, Yan Tianchifeng and Yang Fengshan, the other party of the government's publicity plan were stopped. In desperation, the club had to raise funds to hold a meeting of China Outdoor Network Super Edition, but the discussion about five-color running spread among QQ groups. Some sensitive outdoor organizers saw the most brilliant part of this activity plan in the five-color running plan-it can form a strong visual impact, the rainbow represents hope, and its name is more popular and easy to understand than the five-color running. After referring to Indian Holi Festival, Western Tomato Festival and other similar festivals, after careful planning, the activity of spreading colored powder along the way was officially named Rainbow Run, and all the details were perfected, forming a rainbow run mode. Rainbow Run was held in April of 20 14, which was quickly accepted by the majority of donkey friends and spread to all parts of the country, becoming one of the most popular outdoor activities in 20 14.
