Did your Rainbow Run shirt run white? We’ve heard from families that despite their best efforts at following the instructions, the powder color used during the color run just doesn’t “stick.” If this has happened to your shirt, we’re offering to tie dye it for you!
Sign up for a time to come with your child to the amphitheater behind the school and we’ll help you through the tie-dye process.
Interested in volunteering?

Families will run loops around the school, you may stop to be sprayed with liquid colors (food coloring and water) as often as you are comfortable. Once your family decides it has done enough running, please head to the tables between the tennis courts and the playground for packets of dry colors (cornstarch and food coloring) that may be tossed on oneself or each other. Families are given 1 packet per paid registration.
*NOTE: The color washes out of most materials but just in case, wear items you aren’t worried about staining so you can enjoy the event to it’s fullest! Depending on how colorful you get, the color may stain your skin, hair, and clothes until finally coming out after a few washes. If you have lighter colored hair you may want to cover up with a hat!
