Race recomendations
- Any one, competitive runner, or casual walker of any age is welcome and encouraged to participate
- In the event of inclement weather, the race will be cancelled at the digression of the race director. All purchases and registration are non-refundable.
- Most color will wash out of clothing and hair with regular detergent/soaps and a little elbow grease!
- It is recommended that all participants were comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for athletic events.
- It is recommended that participants and volunteers wear some sort of covering over their eyes. (for example, sunglasses) As the color is thrown, clouds of color will form and may mildly irritate sensitive eyes if unprotected.
- If any potential participants or volunteers are subject to any condition that may cause respiratory distress, or may result in difficulty in walking the course, it is recommended that they take proper precautionary measures if they chose to participate. Clouds of color may form in the air that may potentially cause minor breathing hazard to those with sensitivity, temporarily, until the cloud clears.
- Jogging strollers are not recommended due to the terrain, but family participation is encouraged.
- It is recommended that all participants wear as much white clothing as possible. This will allow the powder to contrast on clothing and become more visible. It's all part of the fun to start off wearing white and end up "color-rific".
- Day of registration is available, but it is recommended that participants volunteer ASAP as the price for race registration will increase after the April 16th deadline. See our "Register Now!" page for more information.
- A t-shirt and goddie bag will not be guaranteed to any and all participants who chose to register after the April 16th deadline.
- It is recommended that all participants and volunteers wear the provided white Blackhawk COLOR RUN t-shirt.
- It is recommend that participants have fun dressing up, costumes and crazy attire is welcomed and encouraged! It's all part of the fun!
How to preserve Color
- All participants and volunteers are encouraged to wear the Blackhawk COLOR run 5k racing shirt.
- All participants and volunteers are encouraged to wear as much white colored athletic clothing as possible, it's all part of the fun to begin dressed in white and end dressed in vibrant colors!
- Most colors will eventually wash out, however the color may be preserved in your Blackhawk COLOR run 5k racing shirt and other white clothing by following this simple guide:
- Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar.
- Lay the shirt flat, and spray with vinegar until completely soaked.
- Allow the shirt to completely air dry, then soak again with vinegar.
- Repeat this process 3-4 times.
- Do not have the shirt hanging up, the colors will run (no pun intended).
- Let the shirt soak in ice cold water for 24 hours, then allow it to completely air dry.
- Done! The color is preserved in your shirt!
- Use caution when washing.
