Join us for a fun non-competitive run/walk through a rainbow of safe washable color powder stations. Kids can dash through clouds of color to create dazzling effects on their clothes. We advise that you wear a white shirt for best results and bring a large towel to put down in your car for the ride home. Fun and exercise for the whole family! *Color powder is made from 100% food grade cornstarch and will easily wash out of most fabrics, skin, and hair using soap and water.
