About the Stardust Color Run 2026
The Stardust Color Run is a color-run style event in Florence, with color stations along the route turning runners and walkers into a moving canvas by the end. The format is casual rather than competitive, and the crowd reflects that, drawing families and people of all paces out together.
The race raises money for two local causes: a program that gives children with disabilities access to organized recreational sports throughout Lauderdale County, and a scholarship for young women from Florence who are heading to college. The entry fee goes directly toward both.
