Surviving the Color

🎨 Event Overview

Get ready for an explosion of color during the Surviving the Color 5k run/walk! Be sure to dress in white and we'll make sure you leave covered in color!

Not a runner? That’s OK! We are all about having a fun time, not setting records!

This run benefits the organization Team of Mercy which offers assistance to those left behind after an attempted or completed suicide. Each year Surviving the Color will be dedicated in memory to those lost in our local community to suicide.
