RACE FEE'S $25.00 (includes race shirt and bib) 13 and up 13 and under are Free WHAT TO WEAR A white t-shirt will be provided to each registered person. We recommend you wear clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. This event is full of color and can really pop by wearing white clothing. Your running shoes could get ruined with all the different colors thrown your way. Consider wearing an old pair you no longer use. Other accessories to consider wearing include sunglasses and a bandana. Sunglasses can help keep the powder from reaching your eyes. Bandanas are great for helping to block the powder from getting in your hair. WHAT TO BRING Bring a change of clothes or a towel to sit on to avoid getting your car seat dirty. We recommend you not bring/wear items like cell phone or jewelry. If you bring your cell phone to capture the fun moments, bring a waterproof case or plastic bag to keep the powder out. THE RUN/WALK/JOG While running, there are stations with colored powder & water. Each station has a different color that is thrown at you. We encourage you to get as much color on you as possible by rolling on the ground or doing cartwheels - remember, this is all fun - we want to bring out the kid in you. FAMILY FUN DAY/THE AFTER-PARTY Don't want to run/jog/walk? No problem! Join us in the cheer zone and bring the family to come enjoy the many activities we have planned after the race . The party begins at the finish line.There will be DJ playing all the latest music. You will have time to visit all the wonderful vendors there, and the kids will have an opportunity to play games or jump on the bounce house, get their faces painted, and so much more.
