Event summary

Get ready to splash into a world of color at the Grand Valley Oncology - Life In Color 5K on Saturday, April 3, 2027! This vibrant 5K fundraiser takes place at the Community Hospital and features a unique course that loops around the perimeter, combining road, sidewalk, and gravel paths. Participants can choose between a timed 5K, complete with a timing chip, or a leisurely Fun Run/Walk, making it a perfect event for all ages and abilities.

As you dash through showers of food-grade colored powder, you'll not only have a blast but also support a fantastic cause—the Gas & Lodging program that assists out-of-town patients seeking oncology care. Embrace the spirit of the event by wearing white clothes that will pop with color, and don’t forget to bring your sunglasses and bandanas for protection against the powder! Packet pickup will be available on April 2nd, and late registration starts at 7:45 AM on race day. Join us for a day filled with fun, community, and support for cancer patients as we celebrate Life in Color!

Organiser's Description

This is a 5K fund raiser for Grand Valley Oncology. This year we are raising money for our Gas & Lodging program. The program offers travel assistance and lodging for out of town patients seeking oncology care.

The 5K course is composed of 3 and half loops around the perimeter of the Community Hospital and includes a mix of road, sidewalk and gravel path. Participants will run through showers of food grade colored powder for the ultimate color experience!

We want to make this event fun for all ages and accessible to all ability groups. Participants have the option to signup for the timed 5K or the Fun Run/Walk . Both options are the same course. Timed 5K participants receive a timing chip on their bib and will be lined up in the first wave of the race. Fun Run participants will not receive a bib and can take the course at their own pace and have fun along the way.

We chose the theme of Life in Color because cancer comes in all different "colors" and we want to fund raise and support cancer patients in living their fullest lives. Colorful costumes encouraged!
