Five kilometers of non-competitive run amidst clouds of colored powders, music, and fun in Brianza
The Brianza Color Run is a beloved event that combines sport, celebration, and solidarity in the territory straddling Carugo and Mariano Comense, in the province of Como. Jointly organized by the Pro Loco of Carugo and the Pro Loco of Mariano Comense, it is a non-competitive 5-kilometer run to be tackled running or walking, with no time limits: the goal is not to finish first, but to have fun.
The distinctive feature of the event is the colored powders: along the route, at every kilometer, participants pass through a cloud of color that covers them from head to toe. At the finish line, the big color party awaits, with collective color throws, a DJ set, and entertainment. It's a visual and festive spectacle that transforms the run into a large outdoor celebration, perfect for photos and sharing moments of joy.
Each edition of the Brianza Color Run is linked to a charitable project: participation thus helps support local initiatives. This is one of the aspects that makes the event particularly meaningful to the community, capable of combining fun with solidarity. The participation kit includes a sports backpack, the edition's t-shirt, a bag of color to throw, and various gadgets.
The meeting point is in Piazzale del Mercato, on Via Kennedy in Mariano Comense, right on the border with Carugo. After the run, the party continues with street food, beer, and entertainment in the market square, in an atmosphere of music and conviviality that beautifully concludes the day. An event that enhances the bond between the two Brianza municipalities and their vibrant associative fabric.
The sixth edition of the Brianza Color Run is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, 2026, organized by the Pro Loco of Carugo together with the Pro Loco of Mariano Comense. The meeting point is in Piazzale del Mercato, on Via Kennedy in Mariano Comense, from where the 5 km route starts, to be tackled running or walking, with no time limits. Along the course, at every kilometer, participants are covered in colored powders, leading to the grand finale of the color party at the finish line. As is tradition, the edition is linked to a local charitable project.
