About this race

Get ready to turn the prairie into a living canvas. This isn't your average race; it is a vibrant celebration of the people and the spirit that make our community so unique. We are coming together to mark our neighborhood’s identity with a kaleidoscope of color and connection.

Our journey begins at the scenic High Prairie Park. As you make your way along the route, you will pass through several color stations where you will be doused in bright, eco friendly powders, symbolizing the diverse and colorful lives that weave our community together. Whether you are sprinting, jogging, or taking a leisurely stroll with your neighbors, the goal is to share a laugh and create memories.

The finish line awaits at Town Center Park, but the fun is just getting started. Your colorful arrival coincides perfectly with the opening of our Open-Air Market. Stick around to support local vendors and celebrate the beautiful mess we made together. Let’s show everyone exactly what it means to live life in full color.
