Packet Pick-up: You may pick up packets early at the YMCA! Stop by the front desk on Thursday, September 24 (11am to 7pm) or Friday, September 25 (8am-1pm). Packet pickup is also available the morning of the event starting at 7:30am. There will be all on-site parking at Fairgrounds Park. CARPOOLING IS SUGGESTED. Gates will close promptly at 8:45 am. You must be inside the park before that time. Please note, inhaling the colored powder may cause problems in participants with respiratory problems. We encourage covering your nose and mouth with a bandanna or a shirt to prevent inhaling the powder. Frequently Asked Questions: – What is Color Splash? The YMCA's Color Splash 5K Run/Walk is a unique family event where participants get “splashed” with an array of powder colors throughout the course. This “Fun Run” is geared towards all fitness levels. There will be a clock but no timing chips. – What do I wear? We will provide a white Color Splash 5K t-shirt when you pick up your participant packets. You are welcome to wear this or anything else you’d like to show off your splash of colors. Some people will be wearing other colorful items, such as knee socks, bright shorts and shoes. Be creative. It is your time to shine! – Are the colors safe? Will they hurt my clothes? The color is basically food grade cornstarch and is 100% natural and SAFE. As with any substance, you want to keep it out of your eyes and our color throwers will make sure to aim low as you pass by. You can choose to wear glasses or goggles to protect your eyes and use a bandanna to cover your mouth if you prefer. Although the colors should wash out of your clothes, there is a possibility it might not. You will be messy.
