Answers to FAQ
*There are only 1,000 spots available to race. Register early before all of the spots are sold out!! T-shirts are not guaranteed with late registration.
*You don’t have to be a “runner” to enter this race! This event is all about a color crazy day with friends and family to support United Way of Western Nebraska! This is not a timed event and there is no age limit. You can run, walk, crawl, or cartwheel if you wish! We do ask that kids are accompanied by an adult. You can run or walk with a stroller, but it might be a good idea to cover the seat with plastic to protect it.
*The “color” is a cornstarch based powder that is non-toxic and biodegradable. It does mostly wash out after the event. We suggest you wear items that you wouldn’t mind getting color on. If you would like to preserve the color in your running shirt, spray it with vinegar and iron it.
*We will have an air-blowing “cleaning station” at the finish line. With a good dusting off, you won’t be 100% clean, but you should be good for the drive home. Bring a garbage bag or plastic to put on the seat of your car after the race…..just in case!
*Please NO PETS in the Color Dash.
*It will be warm so please bring water, wear hats, sunscreen and dress cool!
*Be sure to join our event on Facebook under United Way of Western Nebraska for updates and additional information as it becomes available.
*The easiest way to enter is online with a credit/debit card. You will receive an email confirmation shortly after your register!
