Howard High School PTSA will host a community wide Homecoming Week Kick-off Color Splash FUNDrun by Get Active Fundraising on September 22nd, 2019 at 2pm to raise money for our school. The Color Splash FUNDrun is an untimed Fun Color Run (on and off road) for all ages and fitness abilities. Walk, jog, or run to the finish line! One time around the course is .95 miles. Choose to go once, twice or three times around. Along the route, participants pass through vibrant colored zones, making it a “colorful experience.” This event is fun for all ages and a great way to make running fun and exciting! Additionally, during the race, participants are doused with colored water at various color zones ending with one grand finale color powder celebration at the finish line. Early Registration is $25 per participant. Save $20 when your register 4 people. Participants that register by 9/8/19 will receive a t-shirt, race bib, and individual color packet. Late Registration fees will go up to $30 if you register after 09/08/19 and a race t-shirt, race bib and color packet will not be guaranteed.
