What's the Color Run?

The Color Run, known as the happiest 1/4 mile in Boxford, is an un-timed, music-filled fun run for Cole and Spofford students and their families. Participants can run as many laps around the Color Course as they’d like, getting more colorful with every lap as volunteers shower runners with non-toxic, kid-friendly color powder. Along the way, runners can enjoy a foam pit, age-appropriate obstacles, and other colorful surprises! Plan to get messy!

Every registered runner receives a white event t-shirt, two color packets, and a Kona Ice coupon. This packet should be picked up the week of the event at the Boxford Police Station.  Wear your white shirt and get ready to be covered from head to toe in color! Food trucks, music, cheering volunteers, and a field full of colorful fun make this one of the most memorable events of the year.
