Alcatel OneTouch is partnering with The Color Run in North America to be its presenting sponsor in 2015.

The partnership will help bring "The Happiest 5k on the Planet" to more than 1 million participants in over 120 cities in the U.S. and Canada.

The sponsorship includes integration of TCL Communication’s Alcatel OneTouch technology in selected markets of the nationwide running event. In these markets, RFID connected bracelets will enhance the runner's experience by making it easy for them to share their favorite event photos via social channels.

This Alcatel’s first year as a sponsor of the run. The brand is the official smartphone and mobile partner of the run. Other sponsors include Kind bars, Shout and Post-It.

"Like our brand, The Color Run has been built from the ground up, creating an easily approachable, down-to-earth experience,” says Steve Cistulli, senior vice president of North America for Alcatel OneTouch, in a release.
