Frequently asked questions.
Is the race hard?
Not at all! This is a 1.5k run/walk (mainly walk) that is more about the fun than it is the run. The path is paved and flat.
What is the color made of?
Colored corn starch. The powder is non-toxic, safe, and also biodegradable. As with any substance, you will want to keep it out of your eyes and lungs. We will provide glasses with registration but you may want to use a bandanna or dust mask for your mouth. (This is especially recommended for our younger runners/walkers).
Is it safe?
Yes
Can I take pictures?
Absolutely!!! Take TONS of photos and share them with everyone. This builds excitement for next year.
What about weather?
The event will not have a makeup date. As long as its not lightening, we will attempt to have the event in some capacity.
Are kids allowed at the Color Run?
Yes! All ages welcomed.
Can my family watch?
Yes, again everyone is welcome. They will have to pay to participate though.
Can I wear costumes?
As long as the costume is not offensive or revealing, you can wear it. Just remember that small kids will be in attendance.
What time does the color race begin?
10 am SHARP!
Can I Walk the Color Run?
Yes, we will likely have more walkers than runners.
Can I purchase more items at the event?

How do I volunteer for the Color Run?
If you are interested in volunteering with the organization or on the day of the event, please email us at SBColorRun@yahoo.com. Volunteer opportunities include set up, helping during the event and clean up. We will need volunteers to help with throwing color during the race.

A t-shirt, sunglasses, unlimited color and a bottle of water
What is the color event like?
Go to the gallery and see for yourself!
What should I wear?
Old pants, tennis shoes and your Color Run t-shirt. It starts white but will be COMPLETELY colored.
Will the color stain my clothes, shoes, or makeup?
It should not but may need a couple of washings to get ALL the color out. If you soak your clothes in vinegar and let dry then wash in cold water, the color should stay.
Will the color get in my car?
We will have “air stations” to help blow off the color but yes, there is a high probability that it will go home with you. Bring a towel for your seat or vacuum it out later.
I still have more questions?
Great! You can email us at SBColorRun@yahoo.com
