About the Dandelion Foundation Color Fun Run 2027
The Dandelion Foundation Color Run is a fundraiser for a local nonprofit working against child abuse and family violence. The course runs near a riverside park and its skatepark, and colored powder gets thrown along the way, so expect to finish looking very different than you started. Families with strollers are welcome.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local taphouse, with a second window the morning of the race near the skatepark at the park. The start area is the same spot, so everything is in one place. Leaf blowers are on hand after the race to help with cleanup, and bringing old towels for the drive home is a good idea.

The Dandelion Foundation Color Fun Run 2027 has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 24, 2026.
