What is a Color Run?
The Color Run, also known as the Happiest run/walk on the Planet, is inspired by the Hindu festival of Holia and is a unique event that celebrates healthiness, happiness, and individuality. The Color Run/Walk is 1 mile, untimed event. At each lap, Color Runners are doused from head to toe in a different colored powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color.

Is the color safe?
The Color Blast Dust is safe, non-toxic and completely washable! Our powder is a non-toxic, non-rash-inducing colored corn starch.

Key Information
Race day check-in will begin at 9:30am outside the school Gymnasium on Wall St. The run will begin around 10:30 am.

While the PTO is hosting this event, it is an independent family activity. The PTO is not providing chaperones for this event. PARENTS/GUARDIANS MUST ACCOMPANY CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE EVENT/DAY.
