This Is What It Looks Like to Get Smashed in the Color Run

SYDNEY -- The Color Run has taken the world by storm and Australia got its piece of the psychedelic good times in Sydney on Sunday.

From American to Asia, the run is known as the "Happiest 5km on the Planet," and participants run (or dance) along a course while being pelted with coloured paint. It is a sensory explosion. This is the magnificent result:

The day begins relatively clean and totally unprepared.
