Question 1

Is The Color Safe?

Accepted Answer

The color is non-toxic cornstarch but as with any product you won't want it in your eyes. The volunteers will be instructed on how to throw the color but some runners choose to wear sunglasses or goggles and some choose to wear a bandana over their mouth while color is being thrown. If you have any concerns please consult with your doctor.

Question 2

Can I Bring A Stroller

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can bring a stroller, wagon, baby carrier or whatever you choose. Just keep in mind that it will get color on it. It may get ruined so we recommend either covering it with plastic or bringing an old stroller you don't care about.

Question 3

What If I Have Allergies/Asthma?

Accepted Answer

If you have allergies to corn starch we recommend you stay away. The color is made from corn starch. If you have asthma you may want to take caution, bring an inhaler and/or consult with your doctor.

Question 4

Can I Bring My Dog Or Pet?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately you can't. We love your pets and for their safety they are not allowed. Please leave them home. Service animals are ok if you have paperwork.

Question 5

What Do I Wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear white clothes or light colored clothing. The color will show up better on white clothing. The color will soak through to any under clothing you have on. Please feel free to come in costume, tutus, or anything fun and colorful way you'd like to express yourself.

Question 6

Does The Color Come Out?

Accepted Answer

The powdered color is washable and will come off your skin but will stain clothing. It will also soak through onto underclothing and stain them as well. Denim is the worst to wear as it will not wash out of denim. Please wear clothing that you know will get ruined.

Question 7

Can My Family And Friends Come Watch?

Accepted Answer

YES! We would love to have them there. There will be additional color packs to throw for purchase. Tell them to come help add some color to the party.  There will also be food trucks. It will be a fun family environment. We just ask that those watching stay off the course to protect those running.

Question 8

What Time Should I Arrive?

Accepted Answer

Packet pick-up will start at 5:00pm and go until 5:45. There will be long lines for check in so plan on being early. Warm up will start at 5:45 before the Kiddie Color Run.

Question 9

Where Do I Park?

Accepted Answer

The front of the school has minimal parking but there is a church next door with plenty of parking. Please obey parking laws and do not block driveways, fire lanes or park in any unmarked spots.

Question 10

What Does The Money Go Toward?
