Color Fun Run Friday April 25

English

Spanish

A color run is a fun, untimed race where participants are showered with colored powder at various points along the course, emphasizing fun, community, and health over competition.  Runners are encouraged to wear white clothes.  
  • Focus on Fun and Community:
    Color runs are designed to be a celebration and a way to bring people together, rather than a competitive race. Unlike traditional races, color runs allow participants to run, walk, or even dance their way through the course. 
     
  • The Color Powder:
    Participants are doused in colored powder (typically made from cornstarch) at various points along the course, creating a vibrant and memorable experience. 
     
  • Inspiration:
    The Color Run is inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi, where people celebrate by throwing colored powder at each other. 
     
  • Accessibility:
    Color runs are open to people of all ages and fitness levels, making them a great way to encourage physical activity and promote a healthy lifestyle.
