Color Fun Fest 5K is the nations only 5K Color event offering a daytime and nighttime option.

Run or Walk thru colorful stations where 10,000+ Pounds of colorful food-grade cornstarch transforms you into a vibrant rainbow. When the sun goes down, we power up the world’s strongest blacklights, and our events transforms into a UV reactive playground.

Once you've completed the color run, stay and enjoy the carnival attractions and high energy face painters, balloons, carnival games, LED hoopers, and our famous 'inflatable village'.

Not a runner? Not a problem! Color Fun Fest is about having fun as you make your way to the finish line, not about how fast you can go. Kids 12 & Under are free, so bring the whole family!

The festival at the end of the night will be PG-13
