If you participated last year, you’ll remember it was a high energy, brightly colored, fun event for the whole family! If you didn’t participate last year, you likely heard about how great it was and wished you had joined in! The Color Run is the primary fundraiser for Einstein ASB, which supports more than 10 clubs, the WEB program, pays for sports officials and event workers, purchases new athletic uniforms, plans Campus Day for the end of the year, and continues to run an activity bus after school three days a week. This is a great way for our incoming 6th graders – and their whole family – to have fun with their soon-to-be middle school.

The Color Run is an untimed 3K Fun Run for all ages and fitness abilities.
Along the route, participants pass through vibrant water color zones. Additionally, each pre-registered participant is provided with a personal powder color packet that will be thrown in the air at the final color celebration at the finish line!
Register by May 3rd to receive a t-shirt, race bib, and individual color packet ($25). After May 3rd, the cost increases to $30 and you will not receive a t-shirt or color packet, but you can still join in the fun of the run! You can register online at http://einsteincolorrun.brownpapertickets.com or register in person at the Einstein Middle School office.
