Flying Colors Charity 5K and Fun Run

Event Overview

Are you ready to get colorful for a great cause? The PACU Foundation’s Flying Colors Charity 5K and Fun Run is a dynamic, community-focused event that centers around a timed 5K (8 a.m. start) in which participants are doused with safe, food-based color powder at various points throughout the course. There will be a second, untimed fun run/walk (8:15 a.m.) start for those looking for a more casual, but equally fun, option that will also feature color powder.
