For 5Ks with 4-6 color stations along
the route, we recommend 1/2 to 1 lb per runner, but it really depends
on how covered in color you want your participants to be, how many people you
will have throwing the color, and how much they are throwing each time.
A local
5K that we helped out with, Color Me Chattanooga, only used 1/2 lb per
person and they were covered in color, but we have had others say they used 1
lb.
