2026 Color Jam Family Run & Walk

Start your Saturday morning with a rainbow-fueled adventure at the Color Jam Family Run & Walk, where fitness meets fun in the most vibrant way possible. This untimed event invites families to jog, stroll, or skip their way through John Hunt Park while getting doused in bursts of colorful powder. It's not about speed or competition—it's about moving together, laughing as you turn into walking tie-dye masterpieces, and creating memories that'll show up in photos for years to come. Whether your preschooler prefers to toddle the course or your tween wants to sprint ahead, everyone moves at their own pace in this joyfully messy celebration. The event takes place on Saturday, July 11, from 9 to 11 a.m. at John Hunt Park on Airport Road, and best of all, it's completely free. Just show up ready to get colorful—no registration fees, no pressure, just pure family fun. The untimed format means there's no rush, making it ideal for families with younger children ages 3 and up who might need extra time or frequent stops to marvel at their increasingly colorful clothes. Plan to wear white or light-colored clothing that you don't mind getting stained, and bring a change of clothes for the ride home. Sunglasses or protective eyewear can help keep powder out of eyes, and closed-toe shoes are a must for comfortable walking. Arrive a bit early to soak in the pre-event excitement, and don't forget your phone or camera—these rainbow-splattered moments are worth capturing.
