Remember, this IS NOT a timed event.
Can I walk?
Absolutely yes, you may walk if you choose. This is not a timed event. It is for having fun and being active. We will start the race with the runners at the front of the race and the walkers toward the back to allow runners to lead the pack.
What should I wear to this event?
White clothing is suggested to make the colors show up more brightly. Make sure it is something you don't mind getting stained. White event t-shirts will be provided for pre-registered race guests.
What is the colored powder made of that is thrown in the event?
The colored powder is made in the USA by Hippie Powder, 100% safe and non-toxic, food grade colored cornstarch. Our color throwers will TRY to aim low as you pass by, but you may wear glasses, goggles or bandanas to keep it out of your eyes, nose and mouth if you wish. It is safe to breath, but use proper precautions if you have asthma or lung-related problems.
How do I keep the color in my shirt?
Most colors will wash out, but to help preserve some color, it is suggested to spray it with vinegar and iron it. The best way to keep the color is to never wash it.
Is the race refundable?
This event is NOT refundable due to having to purchase products prior to the event. You may transfer your registration to a friend, but transfer must be completed prior to race day. If you can't make it the day of the event, you may still contact us to pick up your packet.
What if it rains?
They say rain makes the colors brighter, so the 5K will be held rain or shine, but may be postponed in 30 minute increments if there is lightening.
What comes in my registration packet?
If pre-registered by 3-31-17, you will get your 5K entry, white event t-shirt and a color packet to throw at the end of the race, 2 free tickets for the prize drawing after the race, along with any fliers, coupons or information our sponsors may give us. If you register late or the day of the race, you are not guaranteed a shirt.
Can I get an event t-shirt for my child under the age of 5 that runs with me?
Children under the age of 5 will run for free, but no t-shirt is provided. If you want your young child to have a shirt you may preorder one for $8 before 3-31-17.
When and where is sign-in and packet pick up?

Where can family and friends come to watch?
