The color run is definitely worth getting your clothes a little messy with color. The course contains different stations of color spray zones. At each station different colors are sprayed, squirted, and thrown at you. After the run, runners can enjoy an after party. With this year’s color run, there seems to be a theme, of unicorns. Runners will receive unicorn medals, experience unicorn inflatables, and get covered with unicorn colors.
