This free untimed, all-ages event promises to be a multihued highlight of the summer, welcoming families to enjoy a vibrant experience filled with laughter, fitness, community spirit and – most importantly – plenty of color.

Runners and walkers will traverse the paved roads around the John Hunt Park Festival Grounds and be doused with vivid powders and sticky slime. The event also features giveaways, a grooving dance party and concessions available for purchase.

“This is a new event for Huntsville and just one of the exciting activities we have planned for Parks and Recreation Month,” Huntsville Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett said. “It merges physical activity with bright colors, offering a unique experience for families in our community.”

Participants are encouraged to wear white with neon accessories to enhance their experience. They should also wear comfortable shoes and clothes suitable for liquids and powders.
