The first is the expansion of the program for families with children. Another novelty is the carousel. And fans of good music love them too. In the afternoon, children’s favorite musicians Míša Růžičková, Ewa Farna, Kali and DJ Iowa will take turns on stage.

Rainbow sky over Ostrava

The original assumption doesn’t sound good, Saturday in Ostrava it should rain. That was what happened to those who arrived at Rainbow Run right at the start, they had no time to hide, and a few minutes before noon, the colors of the rainbow swept over their bodies in a brief but intense rain. However, after that, despite being short of breath at first, they were able to enjoy themselves in full mouthfuls.

For charitable causes, a painted canvas was auctioned for a record 55,000 crowns, Eva Farna sang to a cheering crowd, and of course there was also the popular rainbow sky, as people threw colored dust over their heads and some men in raincoats were sprayed. . paint from a fire engine on them. Ideal visual impression, miserable respiratory condition. “Oxygen, oxygen!” shouted the two women, who left the rainbow field after a few minutes, as if for their lives, but with a smile.

Car between runners

As the name suggests, this colorful driving range is preceded by two accompanying runs. A two-kilometer family run and – for the first time this year – also a one-kilometer run for children (and companions) under the age of five.

Those who want can also ride a scooter. However, extra care must be taken, many drivers carelessly park their cars along Ruská road near Malý svět tekných and Gong directly under the safety tape instead of the large capacity parking lot at the Hlubin entrance. “So cool, I want to punch the mirror,” you often hear from the crowd.

Car-to-car runner

The main running highlight of the event comes just before 6pm, when thousands of runners set off around the area – and from there along Výstavní Street – on the five-kilometer route. Off campus on narrow sidewalks, masses of runners pose a problem for traffic, because in large numbers they take the entire lane behind their belts, so they don’t become just a strolling crowd. Fortunately, the drivers understood, using the opposite direction and frequent honking of the horn to propel the runners in their endeavor.

In the area, four colorful stations await the participants, with colors flying towards them from all sides as they run. Stylish gold medals await everyone at the finish line. The main highlight of the accompaniment program and the music section of the evening was the performance of the Slovak rapper Kali.
