The YMCA’s Color Splash Fun Run is a vibrant 1K and 5K experience designed for families, all ages, and all fitness levels! This exciting and unique community event invites participants to walk, jog, run, or stroll through the course while being “splashed” with an array of colorful powder at multiple stations along the way.
Color Splash is all about fun, movement, and togetherness—not competition. While a clock will be visible at the finish line, there will be no timing chips, keeping the focus on enjoyment rather than speed. Whether you’re pushing a stroller, walking with friends, or running for fitness, everyone is welcome
Come dressed in white, bring your biggest smiles, and leave covered in color—this is a celebration of healthy living and community spirit you won’t want to miss!

– What do I wear? We will provide a white Color Splash 1K & 5K t-shirt when you pick up your participant packets. You are welcome to wear this or anything else you’d like to show off your splash of colors. Some people will be wearing other colorful items, such as knee socks, bright shorts and shoes. Be creative. It is your time to shine!
– Are the colors safe? Will they hurt my clothes? The color is basically food grade cornstarch and is 100% natural and SAFE. As with any substance, you want to keep it out of your eyes and our color throwers will make sure to aim low as you pass by. You can choose to wear glasses or goggles to protect your eyes and use a bandanna to cover your mouth if you prefer. Although the colors should wash out of your clothes, there is a possibility it might not. You will be messy.

-Can I bring a stroller? Absolutely! As long as you understand that it will end up rainbow colored just like you. All kids 5 AND under can run with an adult FREE of charge and do not need to register. They will, however, not receive a participant t-shirt.
-Can I run with my dog? Sorry, no dogs allowed.
-Will the color hurt the seats of my car on my drive home? We recommend bringing towels to protect the seats of your car, just in case. You can also bring a change of clothes. Restrooms will be available; however, there isn’t a secure sight on the premises of the event to keep your belongings.
-What is included in the cost of registration? The cost of registration covers: – Your Race entry (5 color stations, 3 specialty stations, 2 hydration stations) – Participant t-shirt – Participant Goodie Bag -Healthy Snacks and Water – Finisher’s Medal
