Description

The Color Run is a three-kilometer or 5K, untimed run or walk in which participants are doused in different colors at each kilometer. The run/walk caters to everyone — from first time runners and walkers to seasoned athletes; including a shorter distance race with color powder blasts for children. At the end of the event, participants join a “Finish Festival” with music, dancing, and color throws.  It is a unique event that celebrates healthiness and happiness, and Chester County’s event also celebrates a community being created that is free of the dangers of substance misuse. The Run Drugs Out of Town event is being held on Saturday, September 28^th, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. the Chester County Fairgrounds, 100 Brendale Drive, Chester.
