Bankwell and Walter Stewart’s Market join the NC Color Run

Bankwell and Walter Stewart’s Market return as color station sponsors for the Second Annual NC Color Run. Bankwell is sponsoring the yellow color station and Walter Stewart’s is sponsoring the green color station. Both local businesses are thrilled to support this town-wide event promoting fitness and fun.

The New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation (NCSF), will host the NC Color Run on April 28 at 9am. Students and adults of all ages will run/walk in either the Kids’ Color Dash, which is .8 miles, or the NC Color Run, 5K. Both events will be held at New Canaan High School and Waveny Park. There will be food and a D.J. to celebrate at the start/finish line.

What is a color run? It’s a fundraising run/walk where color powder paint is thrown in the air at the start of the race and at seven different color stations (pink, purple, yellow, green, red, blue, and orange) along the route. Runners get covered in color for a rainbow effect. For more information on the washable powder, please visit our website www.nchs-sf.org.

To register online for the NC Color Run, go to www.nchs-sf.org. The cost to register is $40 for each individual and $150 per family through April 27. Day-of registration opens at 8am, with an additional cost of $10 for each individual. Ages 5 and under are free! The first 1000 online registrants will receive a T-shirt, sunglasses, wristband, and paint powder packet to be distributed at the high school a week prior to the event.
