Will the color ruin clothes or shoes?
The color does mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful (especially shoes!).
How does the color affect the inside of cars?
You might want to bring old towels for the inside of your car, and/or a change of clothing. With FUN comes a bit of MESSY.

Are cameras and phones safe?
It is recommended that you cover cameras and phones with a protective dust wrap. Those colorful powder particles are sneaky and the MTEF is not liable for any damage that might be done to your camera or phone! Or put your device in a zippered bag and store it in a wearable swag bag for selfies after the race!

Does the color affect vision or breathing?
As with any substance, you will want to keep it out of your eyes and the color throwers will be aiming low as you pass by. Some participants opt to wear sunglasses or goggles for their eyes and/or use a bandana or dust mask for their mouths.
What is included with my registration?
Each participant who registers before August 18th will get a swag bag with racer bib, t-shirt, color packet and more!

What is the color made of?
It’s a powder combo of cornstarch, baking soda, and plant-based, bio-degradable dye.
How is the color administered?
You will see smiling people at about every half mile who will try to dust you with some color if you run in between colored balloon markers. You can of course run around the color thrower. But if you want to end the race in pristine clean condition, this is not the race for you!
