Join us for a fun, family-friendly Color Run at Meeks Park in Blairsville! The race will begin at Pavilion #1, which is the first pavilion on the left as soon as you enter the park. Race starts at 9:00 am!
This will be a COLOR RUN, so come ready to get bright and messy! 🎉 We recommend wearing white so the colors show up extra well. All color used will be non-toxic chalk powder that is safe and washes away easily.
All proceeds will go toward supporting the Fellowship of the Hills Youth Ministry as they prepare for summer mission trips. Come run, have fun, and help send our students out to make a difference!
