About the St. Mary's School 5K and 1 Mile Color Run
This is a color run, so expect bursts of powder tossed at you along the course. There are two distance options: a timed race and a shorter, untimed color run. The event is a fundraiser for St. Mary's School, so the crowd skews toward school families, and the atmosphere reflects that.
After the color run wraps up, kids can get their faces painted and take a turn at the karaoke mic, which keeps things going well past the finish line for families who stick around.
