Enjoy the colors of life and get soaked in colors. Holi is also known as the "World's craziest festival" and will get even crazier with this color run.

For non runners, if you think 5K is a lot, no worries. You can walk and have fun with your friends and family.

The race will be along the beautiful trails of Pearland Independence Park. Along the route volunteers will be dousing colors on the runners for a fun experience. Every race participant receives a race bib, participation medal, a shirt, color packets, other useful items for the race and some sponsor give away . The race starts at 9:00 am and reporting time will be 8:00 AM. This timing may be subject to change too. The actual event will go on throughout the day. Runners can enjoy food and treats and play in the color zone, mix and mingle with others, do shopping at our vendor booths and enjoy the festivities.

Please note that this is a rain or shine event, unless there is extreme dangerous weather conditions, the event will go on as scheduled.

This year's run our theme is 'Run With Heart: Color the Lives of Our Neighbors' and we will be donating a part of the proceeds to the "Pearland Neighborhood Center. The Pearland Neighborhood Center (PNC) provides essential support to Pearland families through emergency aid like utility/rent assistance, a food & baby pantry, and school supplies, plus programs for financial stability, GED scholarships, and holiday gifts (Santa's Helpers), all aiming to build a strong community foundation by offering resources and responsive care for those in need.
