Douglas County Parks & Recreation Presents: The Family Fun Color Run

Dust off your running shoes and throw on your new white race shirt provided with registration! Join us on May 9 at Boundary Waters Park for a day of vibrant energy, community spirit, and a whole lot of flying powder.

As you navigate the trail, you’ll pass through multiple Color Powder Stations where our "Blast Crew" will ensure you leave looking like a masterpiece.
