Organiser's Description

Union Academy's High School Student Council and the Varsity Cross Country team are partnering up to put on UAs 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. [https://braintumor.org/brain-tumors/about-brain-tumors/brain-tumor-facts/]
