Juneteenth Menare Foundation 6k & 12k

Join us on Saturday, April 25, 2026, for a fun run- in color! This is a run/walk for everyone! 1-101, we've got a spot for you! Take a lap around the field, run the mile, or run the 5k...it's totally up to you! Each registered participant will receive the Color Run t-shirt and a pair of sunglasses (let's protect those eyes from the sun AND the color powder!)! These items will be available AT the run, during check in time. We recommend arriving 10-15 mins prior to the start of the race, to allow time to check in.

For those who may be unfamiliar with a color run, this is a fun run in which volunteers will toss colored powder on you while you run or walk by. It is a good idea to wear clothing that you don't mind getting dirty and getting color powder on...including your shoes!! The powder is simply colored cornstarch, so it should easily wash out.

Our rain date for this event is Sunday, April 26, 2026. We are unable to provide refunds for any reason other than complete cancellation of our event.
