Race Morning

Dash & Dye is a 5K Color Fun Run. 1^st wave goes out at 11am, last wave at noon. Waves every 10 minutes and runners will go out on a first come first served basis. Remember the event is not timed so there is no reason to go CRAZY jockeying for position. Take your time and enjoy the Color Run experience with your friends and family. *Please make sure your bib number is attached and visible on the front of your shirt. This is how you will be identified as a Color Runner at the finish line and allowed past security at the start. Teams may run in a group or separately, it is completely up to your discretion.

Arrive early. Allow plenty of time to park & get prepped for the race. Make sure you have your bib. Your race bib is your ticket into the run. You HAVE to have it in order to be on the course…..and we cannot give you another one if you leave them at home! So tape them to your forehead, roll them up in your running shoes, or pin them to the front of your running shirt as soon as you get it! Oh and don‘t forget to wear white – it’s more fun, we promise.

There will not be physical obstacles on course.

Cleaning Up

Here are some tips for cleaning up…

Before

Oiling your hair well on race morning will make it easier to wash out the color later. Coconut oil or olive oil work best. A good leave in conditioner will do the trick as well. This is a particularly useful tip for runners with light colored or highlighted hair.

Many runners wear a thick scarf or bandana to cover their hair. Others use the bandana to cover their mouth as they run through the color zones or to help wash off after. However you choose to use it, a bandana or scarf is pretty useful at the Dash & Dye.

Wear a good sunscreen and lip balm.

We suggest some form of eyewear. Some people wear sunglasses or swim goggles.

Have some fun with it and try to avoid getting a lot of powder in your eyes.

Though the color will eventually wash out of just about everything, you may not want to wear your expensive running shoes.

After

Dust off as much dry powder as you can before you apply any water.

Cleaning your hair: Dust any loose powder out of your hair. Rinse out the oil/conditioner you

wisely applied before the race with cold water. Most of the color should come right out. Now wash your hair as you normally would. It is not uncommon for hints of some of the color, pink and purple particularly, to stick around for a few washes.

The color is probably not coming all the way out of your white cotton shirt. You should be proud of that. But just about everything else should clean up pretty well.

Remove all excess powder before adding water. Wash your Color Run gear separately, with COLD water. Oxiclean, or a similar product, will work wonders on your running equipment.

Event Details

What is Dash & Dye?

Dash & Dye is a 5K Color Fun Run. During the run, you will get covered in non-toxic colored corn starch, thrown by volunteers all too eager to use you as their own personal canvas. Each section of the run brings a new color to the mix, until the finish line and the final tidal wave of color that will make your washing machine shed a tear. During the run you’ll also be on the look out for Easter Eggs that will score you great prizes, and you can enter for the $500 Grand Prize (must be present at time of drawing, drawing at 2pm)

What do I wear?- Participants need to wear a white t-shirt that you don’t mind ruining. Most of the color should wash out, but wear something you won’t mind ruining. Also, bring a towel or change of clothes for the ride home.

Once the run is finished, enjoy the Dash & Dye Color Party with food vendor, music and soda from noon – 2pm.

Just want to watch the madness? There is no charge for spectators, but spectators may purchase bags of color for $5 and join in the fun.
