    The Parkview Color Run is an event PERFECT for the whole family including veteran runners as well as those just beginning their fitness journey. The run consists of 3 loops around Burnet Park for a total distance of 3 kilometers. The course is very safe--closed to traffic with lots of supervision. Walk or run and be prepared to get messy as our color bombers douse participants with non-toxic, food-grade color dust.

    The Color Run is a fundraiser for Parkview Junior Academy, a Christian grade school located across the street from Burnet Park. The proceeds of our event will go towards replacing our road-side sign which has been in disrepair for many years. Parkview's aim is to be a recognized place of exceptional learning in our community and an attractive, functioning sign will help us in this endeavor.
