What is a Color-A-Thon Event?As you run/walk/dance through the course, you will get showered in safe, eco-friendly, plant-based powdered dye at every zone…turning you into a moving target of fun! Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly be more colorful, you’ll cross the finish line and find yourself in the middle of a Color Blast at our Finish Line! You’ll jam out with our awesome emcees as they count down to the moment when YOU get to Tie-Dye the Sky and open your color packets to share your blast of color with your friends, family, and everyone else around you. The result is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that many people tell us is the most fun they’ve ever had exercising. But don’t just take our word for it, join the most colorful, most fun color run fundraiser ever!

Who can participate? Is there an age limit? If my child is walking/running, can I go also?All students of any age can participate in a Color-A-Thon Event. We would like students to encourage their friends, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grammas, and grampas to participate. Bring the little ones and push them in a stroller. This is a fun event that families can participate in…no matter what age. And you don’t have to run…you can walk, dance, skip, stroll, jog, trot, or turn cartwheels!

What is the color blast dust made of? Is it safe?Our Color Blast Dust is safe, non-toxic, and completely washable! Our powder is a non-toxic, non-rash-inducing colored corn starch. For your safety we have had it tested for health and flammability. Visit our Color Dust Information page, or click the following link to download the Color-A-Thon Color Dust Information PDF.

Will my clothes ever be the same?The Dye we use is completely safe and will wash out of your clothes – but we don’t do your laundry so results may vary depending on detergent, temperature, etc. For this reason we recommend you wear stuff that you don’t mind getting a little colorful.
-
Will the color dust wash out of my hair?The color dust dye is made of colored cornstarch and is designed to be 100% washable. If you have light-colored hair, or if it’s expected to be rainy or a particularly humid day when you participate in a color run event, we suggest adding some leave-in conditioner.
