From the Organizer
The Colorful Soles Fun Run will bring an afternoon of bright colors, great music, and lots of laughter. Runners will pass through SEVEN different color stations placed around the course, getting coated in colored powder along the way. We’ll then finish with an awesome group color throw finale so everyone can “Paint the sky for Ava”.
- Proceeds benefit the Ava Wood Scholarship Fund!
- Get splashed with bright colors from head to toe!
- DJ music entertainment will be on site!
- Captured with photo and video footage!
To honor Ava’s jersey number in the sport she loved (#19), race participation is priced at $19. Event entry also includes a white Colorful Soles t-shirt which will be layered in colored powder throughout the run. Be prepared to be covered in color from head to toe!
If you register before May 31st, you'll also score an Early Bird pack that includes a Tie-Dye Bandana and a pair of Tie-Dye Colorful Soles Sunglasses!
We thank you for your support and can't wait to see you there!
