The vibrant and exhilarating Colors for Courage Color Run is coming to Lyman Elementary School, where fun, fitness, and patronage collide in a spectacular burst of color! Imagine this: participants, young and old, dressed in white shirts, standing eagerly at the starting line, ready to take on a race like no other. As the horn sounds, they’re off, their feet pounding the pavement as vibrant clouds of colored powder explode into the air at each checkpoint. Reds, blues, yellows, and greens swirl through the air, painting the runners in an assortment of hues as they race through a course filled with cheer, music, and excitement.

Each step brings a new splash of color, turning the entire event into a living canvas of joy, unity, and determination. The event isn’t just about running—it's about coming together to support an amazing cause. All proceeds from the Colors for Courage Color Run benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, helping to provide support and resources to our brave veterans who’ve sacrificed so much for our country.

By the time runners cross the finish line, they're not just covered in colors—they’re filled with pride, knowing they've contributed to an important cause while having a blast. The day concludes with music, food, and plenty of smiles, making it a perfect celebration of community, courage, and the power of giving back.

Come join the fun, and let’s paint the day with hope, strength, and endless courage!
