Think of the Color Run as running through a rainbow. It’s a nationwide 5K race that is available for kids of all ages dedicated to creating special moments rather than race times. The gist of it is that you go in dressed in all white only to be covered in magical colored “elf dust” that is thrown on you at the end of every kilometer until you’re a colorful mess by the end of it! The most fun is that at the end of the race is a post-5k party where you throw up a packet of the colorful dust in the air simultaneously with thousands of other runners which makes for a breathtaking Kodak moment. Teams are welcomed and encouraged and proceeds will be donated to various local organizations.
