The second annual Color the Hill Fun Run promises to be a lively 4k romp in the woods at UNC’s cross-country course at Finley Fields on Saturday, May 3, 2014. Staggered start times begin at 10 a.m. Free parking is available at Finley Fields, and a free shuttle will run continuously from UNC’s Frat Court starting at 8:30 a.m.
Run, walk, tiptoe, skip or sashay through the five color stations. As runners reach
each station, they will be blitzed with nontoxic colored powder. The finish line will
feature an epic color extravaganza! The merriment will continue at the finish line with a party featuring music, food trucks and giveaways.
The proceeds from the run will benefit three local nonprofits: the Academy of Information Technology of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, A Drink For Tomorrow and the SKJAJA Fund. The Academy of Information Technology introduces high school students to the career opportunities in a digital workforce. A Drink For Tomorrow is a UNC student-run organization that raises awareness and funds for the global water crisis. Funds are used to construct sustainable water and sanitation projects in Latin America. The SKJAJA Fund provides underprivileged local children the opportunity to participate in social and educational enrichment activities.
The registration fees are $35 for participants age 11-111. Participants will receive a Color the Hill race T-shirt, sunglasses, race number and color packet to use at the finish line or afterparty. Kids ages 5-10 are only $15 with a paying adult and get sunglasses, race number and color packet. And children under 5 are free with a paying adult. Kids’ T-shirts are available for purchase for an additional $10.
