WHAT IS A COLOR RUN?

The Color Fun Run is a 5k with certain points throughout the course where they will be doused with our non-toxic color powder. We encourage goggles and face masks for any little ones. For the older guys and gals & adults – we suggest sunglasses and a white t-shirt to catch all the bright colors.

Here are some favorite Color Run tips. Follow these, and we promise you’ll have a blast at our event!

WHERE AND WHEN CAN I REGISTER? RIGHT NOW!

WEAR A BANDANA AND SUNGLASSES.

to help you keep the powder out of your nose, mouth, and eyes.

BRING A TOWEL AND BABY WIPES.

The CASA staff will be at the Finish Line for your photo ops. Getting into your car after a Color Run can still be a little messy, so we suggest to bring baby wipes and old towels to throw down on the seats of your car.

BRING A SMALL ZIPLOCK BAG FOR YOUR CELL PHONE.

You’ll want to capture the color splashes of powder, but keep it in a baggie to protect it from the powder.

TAKE “BEFORE AND AFTER” PHOTOS.

Start your morning by snapping a pre-race pic in your clean clothes, and get another photo after the race, once you’re covered in color. The before-and-after comparison is one of our favorite things we get to see on our Facebook and Instagram feed! Tag CASA in your social media posts.

RUN WITH YOUR CO-WORKERS, FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, AND/OR YOUR KIDS.

The Color Run is where everyone feels comfortable getting active, no matter their age or ability level. Whether you’re young or old, you’ll feel at home! Challenge your co-workers and sign-up as a company team.

IS THE COLOR RUN SAFE?

Safety is our main priority! Our colors we use are made with high quality cornstarch, food dyes and baking soda. All materials are 100% FD&C and/or D&C approved.

WILL RUNNING THROUGH THE COLOR ZONES AFFECT MY VISION OR BREATHING?

Our color powder is all certified non-toxic and free of any heavy metals. Our bright colors are a combination of cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C (food-safe) dyes. Some Color Runners opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandana or dust mask for their mouths. Our Color Throwers make sure to aim low as you pass by.

WILL THE COLOR RUIN MY CLOTHES OR RUNNING SHOES?

The color mostly washes out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. It’s best to wear items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful. 100% cotton clothing is recommended and typical machine washing with stain remover, removes the stains. We recommend removing excess powder from clothing before washing and/or applying water.

HOW DO I KEEP THE COLOR IN MY SHIRT FROM A COLOR RUN?

While some people are concerned with making sure that the color washes out of clothing others want to show off their colors. We have detailed instructions on how to keep the color in your color fun run shirt through this link:

https://www.wholesalecolorpowder.com/save-color-fun-run-race-t-shirt/

CAN I RUN THE RACE WITHOUT THE COLOR POWDER GETTING DOUSED ON ME? Yes! You’ll miss the color station fun but we get it! You will run the same course but cross your arms in front of you so they know not to color splash you.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO? As you know CASA (Citizens Against Spouse Abuse) is a non-profit agency providing advocacy and healing services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence since 1983. The money raised will help us to provide these services through our 24-hour crisis hotline, food program, therapy, advocacy, education, language and cultural access services, housing, and so much more.

DAY OF THE EVENT QUESTIONS? Call or Text Julie at 660-221-1251

ENJOY AND HAVE FUN MAKING NEW MEMORIES!

Thanks in advance!

Virtual 5K Run/Walk Registration $40

This registration is for a Virtual 5K Run or Walk.

If you can’t be there in person, then a virtual race is for you! You can even get your friends and/or your kids to race with you too. A virtual race allows you to still participate, still support CASA, and you can run it from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track. You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. And your medal will be shipped directly to you.

If you register by June 5th, this includes an event shirt. Your medal and bib will be mailed to you (depending on when you register). You do not have to wait for your bib to arrive to complete your race, however. Last day to register online is June 20, 2026.

Once you have completed your race, we’d love to hear about it! Take photos with your medal and share your race time with us! Join our Virtual Run Events Facebook Group Click Here … https://www.facebook.com/groups/919738929215523/ and share your photos and connect with fellow participants!
