If there is anyone who knows how to put on a party, it’s the college Greek system. The girls at OSU’s Chi Omega are organizing a color-themed run. This is their third year, and they have set out a goal to raise $15,000. Last year, the event raised just over $14,000, so that goal is within reach. All proceeds will go to the Make a Wish Foundation. The Benton County Fairgrounds and Midge Cramer Path are…
I took both of my daughters to our first color-themed race earlier this year. It was a blast. I don’t think I have ever seen any of them smile so much, nor heard them giggle so much. Both are pretty bummed that we won’t be available for the 2015 Salem Color Vibe on October 10, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check them out.
My 3 year old daughter and I experienced our first colored run earlier last summer at the Get Your Color On event in Salem. We both had a blast at this small event at Bush Park. Following the event, she immediately asked if we could do it again and took on the Color Vibe 5k last October. The Color Vibe 5k is once gain coming to Salem on Sunday, October 12. There is also Portland and…
I love to run with my family when I can talk them into it… and what better event to get the kids excited than The Color Run, “The Happiest 5k on the Planet”. We had done a similar event last summer (Color Me Rad), so they were pretty excited for this event. I can’t say for sure how many participants were at this event, but it is fair to say that it was well over…
If you are looking for a low key, but fun color-themed run, consider checking out the Get Your Color On 5k & 800m Kid’s Race in Salem on July 19. The non-competitive (and therefore non-timed and awardless) event is sponsored by the Salem Art Association and is held during the popular Salem Art Fair & Festival. The fair and the races are held at Salem’s Bush Park with the start/finish line in the grass field SE of McCulloch…
