Aspen House ‘Color Run’ Starts at Yamaguchi Park on Saturday Morning

The Aspen House Color Run — a fun 5k run or walk to benefit the nonprofit A Safe Place in Pagosa Inc. — will be held on Saturday morning, September 16, at Yamaguchi Park, beginning at 8am.  The cost is $20 for ages 7- 17 and $30 for ages 18 and up.  There is no cost for children ages 0-6.

Costumes are encouraged as there will be prizes in many categories.

Sign up online at https://runsignup.com/Race/CO/PagosaSprings/ColorFestColorRunWalk5k.  Pre-race package pickup is at PS FROYO, 459 Lewis St., from 4 to 7pm on Friday evening, to get your white t-shirt.  Registration ends at 7:30am on Saturday morning.

This fun race is hosted by the nonprofit A Safe Place in Pagosa Inc. (dba Aspen House and Aspen Services) and is an event for the entire family. Run, walk or baby stroller your way through our 5k course. (This is an untimed event.)  At several color stations, you can get your white t-shirt color-splashed by our volunteers. The course is very user-friendly, scenic and mostly flat, so it can be completed by all.

Enjoy the Riverwalk and the Colorafest balloon ascension occurring the same morning.

There will be prizes for costumes, so be creative and come decked out for some colorful fun.

All proceeds benefit the building of a home and providing services for adults with developmental disabilities in Pagosa Springs.
