The Color Vibe 5K will raise funds July 12 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark for the United Way of Wyandotte County.
“With our 2014 campaign season coming up soon we are excited to get revved up with such a fun and vibrant event,” said Joy Richardson, United Way of Wyandotte County vice president of resource development and community involvement.
“We hope the Wyandotte community will come out in huge numbers to support our cause and partake in the fun color party,” she said.
In the Color Vibe 5K, participants run through color stations and get covered in vibrant 100 percent safe colored cornstarch powder.
Runners, young and old, beginner and advanced, are invited to walk, jog, skip, or even dance through the entire course.
At the finish line Color Vibe throws a giant dance party complete with large color throws that douse participants in another layer of color.
Registration fees cover the participant’s packet, which includes an official white Color Vibe T-shirt, racing bib, sunglasses, and a pack of color. More information and registration can be found at http://www.thecolorvibe.com/kansascity.php.
CommunityAmerica Ballpark is at 1800 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, Kan. The event begins at 9 a.m. July 12.
