Youth For Hospice & CHSN Grad Nite Proudly present Cloud of Color 1 Mile Fun Run Sunday, April 26th 2015 The YFH/CHSN Grad Nite Cloud of Color 1 Mile Fun Run is a non-competitive 1 mile run/walk with a twist.

When the race is over, participants look like masterpieces, in a palette of colors!

A color run is a fun run/walk for people of all ages, of approximately 1 mile, that brings fun and a little exercise together, celebrating a color and a healthy life, all while earning money for great causes! The only requirement is to wear white! HOW DOES IT WORK? You start off clean at the starting line. This is not an official, timed race. You can walk, run or do cartwheels through the course. Along the way we have color stations where color is gently thrown on you. At the finish, you will be fully plastered in color! We have a celebration of color and fun at the end, as well! WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? The Color Fun Run caters to everyone – first time runners to seasoned athletes. There is no age limit, if they can cover (running, jogging, walking, strolling) the mile course, they can participate. However, for the safety of our runners, no pets allowed. IS IT SAFE? YES! The powder is made from food coloring and cornstarch, it is all natural and 100% nontoxic and completely biodegradable. DO I GET A T-SHIRT? YES! All participants will be required to sign a waiver and be provided with a T shirt (while supplies last) and wrist band at registration. Register online and t-shirt and wristband packages will be available for pick-up during lunch periods and at Hospice the week before the race, and at registration the morning of the event. WILL IT COME OUT OF MY CLOTHING? The color does mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful. SHOULD I BRING A TOWEL? Yes. You will probably want to throw down a towel in your car to help avoid the spread of color to seats! WHAT DO I DO WITH MY VALUABLES DURING THE RACE? Leave your valuables (cell phone, electronics) at home or place them in ziploc bags to protect them when running through color stations. SHOULD I WEAR ANY OTHER ATTIRE OR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING? You should wear goggles or sunglasses to avoid getting dust in your eyes. Some people also wear something to protect their mouths from getting too much dust…bandana’s work well. WHERE DO I PARK? There will be plenty of parking on site with directions to the registration and pre – race and starting areas. CAN I PARTICIPATE WITHOUT ACTUALLY RUNNING? Yes. There are a lot of ways to get involved. You can volunteer (and earn community service hours). You can be a sponsor. You can simply donate. IS MY DONATION OR SPONSORSHIP TAX DEDUCTIBLE? Yes.
