This event is to raise awareness of the importance of an arts education and to raise funds for arts programs in schools.  Every 10 participants a school has earns a portion of the proceeds.  Come out, bring a lawn chair and umbrella and enjoy music, dance and art work of the students at the pavilion before and after the race. We offer two runs. You can do one or both. The first is at 7:00 AM which is the 17th Annual Race for the Arts 5K . This is a chip timed race with trophies three deep in each 5 year age category.  The second is the 6th Anniversary for the Color Me 4k Fun Run and Walk which begins at 8:00 AM.  This is a non competitive fun event for families and friends. Both runs will be entertained along the race route by student performers and given a special finishers medal as they cross the finish line.

We will do a Color Blast Count Down for all Color Runners which starts at 9:15 on the hill. We will do the count down together using numbers held up by students.  Bring your cameras to get some very colorful shots!!!
