Guidance for participants emphasizes practical precautions for color runs: keep the mouth closed when passing color stations, protect the eyes with sunglasses or similar eyewear, carry tissues for the nose, and expect color to transfer to clothing and surfaces. The organizer suggests wearing white clothing to display the color effects, bringing a towel to protect vehicle seats, and considering a change of clothes. Recommendations for preserving a colored shirt include spraying it with vinegar and allowing it to dry in the sun before finishing in a tumble dryer.
