Event Description

Union Academy's High School Student Council and the Varsity Cross Country team are partnering up to put on UA’s first ever Cardinal Color Run. Our color run is a 5-kilometer race where participants are covered in colored powder while running, walking, or jogging. The powder is non-toxic, gluten-free, and safe for people and pets of all ages and it washes away easily. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color. Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the National Brain Tumor Society.

 

THINGS TO KNOW:

  • Two age groups: 12 and under & 13+
  • Race registration deadline is 4/6/25 to lock in price and guarantee of t-shirt and medal
  • Registration after the 4/6/25 deadline will result in price increase of $5 and no guarantee of t-shirt and medal
