After Hurricane Deborah postponed the inaugural Color Fun Run, scheduled to take place during Old Home Days in August, the Alvirne High School Athelic Booster Club has re-scheduled the event for this weekend.
Families can lace up their running shoes for a vibrant day of fun, fitness, and color during the Alvirne Booster’s Color Fun Run taking place at the Hills House on Sunday, Oct. 6, starting at 10 a.m.
The event will be taking place on the heels of one of the state’s biggest cross-country meets, the Battle of the Borders, hosted annually by the Alvirne High School Cross Country team, at the same location.
The Color Fun Run will be offering a family-friendly, untimed run or walk on a two-mile course, specially modified from the 3.1 miles that cross-country athletes tackle. The course winds through the rolling fields and beautiful woodlands of the Hills House, offering a combination of grassy, dirt and crushed stone paths. Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome to join in the fun, whether you’re looking to run, jog, or enjoy a leisurely walk with family and friends.
The organizers of the run are excited to provide complimentary sunglasses and plenty of color powder to make the day a truly colorful experience for all to all who register.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy the outdoors on this beautiful course, and raise funds for the hardworking Alvirne High School athletes.
The Booster Club is also accepting donations for those who don’t care to participate.
“We hope the weather cooperates, as this time of year is perfect for a fun and active day outside, especially on a course that has seen some of the best cross-country runners in the state.”
