Please be sure to leave the dogs at home. We would recommend watching the weather to help you determine appropriate attire for the color run/walk. We strongly recommend sneakers and race attire that is comfortable, but keep in mind some staining may occur even though the colored powder is made of cornstarch and food coloring paste. Please be sure to bring your ID, water bottle, sneakers, family, friends, and your sense of adventure. All monies raised will help fund new wrestling mats, tournament entrance fees, wrestling gear, and various wrestling items for the Springfield VT Wrestling Team.
