This is a five-kilometer, untimed event. Along the route, participants are doused with orange colored powder.

We recommend wearing sunglasses and a bandana over your mouth and nose in our orange zones. This race is for everyone - first timers to seasoned athletes, with no winners or official time. Please note it may get a bit messy after the race, so bring extra towels or wipes.
