From the Organizer
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!
