Join us on Sunday, Sept 11th during Vassalboro Days for a family friendly fun run/walk. We will start and finish this run/walk at the East Vassalboro Ball Fields. The course will be a 1.5 mile un-timed out and back. You can choose to walk or run as an individual, or with a team. Kids 12 and under run free with a paid adult.  Kids t shirts will be $10.  Please sign them up through the website.   Starts will be staggered so everyone gets to enjoy the fun at the 5 color stations.

FAQs
Is it safe to bring cameras and phones to the color run?
To be totally safe, we recommend covering cameras/phones with a protective dust wrap.

Will running through the color stations affect my vision or breathing?
The color powders is all certified non-toxic. The bright colors are a combination of cornstarch and FD&C (food-safe) dyes. Some color runners opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandanna or dust mask for their mouths.  Our stationed 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. Its best to wear items that you wouldn't mind getting colorful.

Can I run with my DOG/CAT/TURTLE? 
For the safety of our runners and animal friends, we do not allow animals.
