From the Organizer

Imagine a crisp, sunny morning at Bedford’s Falling Creek Park with an excited crowd gathered at the starting line, buzzing with energy. Participants of all ages are dressed in white, ready to transform into living canvases. As the race begins, runners and walkers alike charge forward, grinning from ear to ear. Along the course, volunteers armed with colorful powder wait eagerly at multiple color stations. As runners pass through, they're showered with vibrant clouds of blue, pink, yellow, and green, creating a kaleidoscope of colors in the air.

 

The laughter and cheers from participants mix with the upbeat music from DJ Showtime playing in the background, creating an infectious atmosphere of joy and celebration. By the time they cross the finish line, everyone is covered head to toe in a rainbow of hues, having not only completed a fun and healthy run but also created unforgettable memories. The after-party showers everyone with even more color as participants dance and laugh with friends. 

Registration after 9/15 will not get a shirt . Day-of-race sign-ups will not receive a shirt or medal, regardless of your finish position in the race.
