The annual Color Blast Fun Run/Walk co-sponsored by the Tyrone Race Series and the Tyrone Area School District, will return to the TASD campus on Saturday, April 26.
Registration is now open, and all participants who register by April 12 are guaranteed an official race t-shirt.
“We are excited that The Color Blast is back with help from the Tyrone Race Series. All the proceeds from this event will directly support student activities district-wide,” said Tyrone School Psychologist and Color Blast planning committee chair Kourtney Klock.
The Color Blast is a community event open to all ages and abilities. Students, community members, and families can register to walk the 1-mile course or run the 5K loop around the district campus.
There will also be lots to do for those who can’t or don’t want to run or walk the course.
Same-day registration begins at 9 am and ends at 11 am.
There will be food trucks, raffles, vendors, a photo booth, and other pre-race activities for everyone.
The 1-mile walk and 5k run will begin at 11 a.m. in the Tyrone Area High School parking lot and conclude by 1 p.m.
Food trucks that have been confirmed for the event are:
