From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find fun run events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
Join us on Sunday, May 31 as the North Country Mission of Hope holds its 7th Annual Color Run!
Run through the scenic trails and trees of Rulfs Orchard in Peru, NY, passing by the berry patches with splashes of spring like color. Have fun running or walking through the orchard in a specially marked course while enjoying the apple blossoms and the explosions of color raining down on you from each of the 6 color stations throughout the run. Balloons, music, and excitement will fill the air in preparation for the 5K race.
Check-in begins at 12:30 with the Color Run stepping off at 1:30pm. T-shirts will be available on-site in a variety of sizes (Adult and Youth, size selection is first-come, first-served). Special parking for competitors and spectators will be off of Telegraph Road, just east of the store and main parking lot. Online registration is $25, with race day registration available for $35. There is never a charge for children under 6. Register today and save!
All proceeds will support the Mission's operations in Nicaragua, domestic mission work in the Appalachian region of Kentucky as well as providing North Country families with medical equipment and other items.
