What is a Color Run?
A color run is an event where participants run or walk through color zones while non-toxic powder (made from corn starch) is gently thrown at them.
Where is it located?
At Pine Valley Recreation Area in Cloquet. It is located behind the Northwoods Credit Union Arena on Olympic Drive.
How long is the course?
We will have two course options. A 5K and a Color Dash (about 2.5K). Both routes will allow you to collect colors from all the color zones!
Who can participate?
Anyone! This is an event to get people from Cloquet and the surrounding areas to come together for fun, exercise and community building! Invite everyone you can think of to run/walk with you! Please note that this event is held on non-paved trails that are not handicap accessible. Some terrain is bumpy. Strollers are allowed, but jogging strollers are recommended. Everyone is welcome to spend the day in the park enjoying all the activities planned for participants and non-participants. Bubbles, yard games, prizes and FOOD TRUCKS! Everyone is invited to join in the COLOR BLAST at the end of the event!
