Event Details
The AAPI NJ Color Run 2026 is returning on Sunday, April 26 at the scenic Brookdale Park, bringing together families, friends, and community members for a vibrant celebration of culture, wellness, and unity.
The annual event highlights the strength and diversity of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community while raising awareness and support for ongoing advocacy and educational initiatives.
This vibrant, high-energy celebration is once again backed by strong community partnerships, including support from The Tutor Shack, a tutoring center serving students across Essex County and beyond both in person and virtually.
“The Tutor Shack has supported the Color Run every year since 2022, when the event launched, playing a pivotal role in making not only our event a success but by providing much needed resources to advance our advocacy and education efforts,” said an AAPI NJ representative.
Through its sponsorship, The Tutor Shack continues its commitment to supporting initiatives that uplift students and families both inside and outside the classroom.
“The AAPI NJ Color Run brings people together in such a meaningful and joyful way,” said Steph Legnosky, owner of The Tutor Shack. “Community events like this celebrate culture, connection, and the importance of supporting one another.”
The Tutor Shack has supported students in person and virtually for over 30 years, serving families throughout Essex County and surrounding communities. The Tutor Shack provides SAT and ACT Prep, coursework / homework help, AP courses and exam preparation, and study skills development for students of all ages. Its programs are designed to help students build confidence and improve academic performance. For more information, visit www.tutorshack.com.
