Colors everywhere! Learn about some of nature’s most colorful and vibrant animals and plants. Visit color powder stations along the way!

The 100-meter dash will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. Use your favorite fitness tracking app to record your time and share it on our Facebook event page! White/light t-shirt colors are recommended for the most vibrant results. Please be aware that leather and suede tend to stain with the color powder.
