Event Description

We have all been affected by cancer in some way, so let's come together to create awareness, honor our heroes, and support our community. All proceeds from the Colors 4 a Cure 5K will benefit the Richard Jacob Rudy Memorial Fund, a 501c3 non-profit organization, whom will in turn donate to local families and individuals being affected by cancer. 

Enjoy bright throws of color, music, water stops, and the fellowship of runners and walkers, and family and friends.  Let's honor and recognize those who have faced or are facing cancer with a race dedicated to the celebration of life!!!

Registration continues through race day! Online registration is open through 10/1. Registration will be available at the race on race day 10/2. The cost is $25 per participant. All donations of any size are greatly appreciated! Come out as an individual runner or walker, or join a team! Wear the color of cancer awareness of choice or white. Let's COLOR the town! Let's all come together for a day of FUN and HAPPINESS, while we support our own community members facing hard times. 

Our course is along a beautiful, scenic walking/running path in a park called Wickham Woodlands in Warwick Ny. Our course is mostly flat and the total distance is 3.5 miles. The race will be timed.  Visit www.RJRmemorialfund.org for info, or call Katie Rudy-Tomczak 845-987-0797. **THANK YOU**

13. The color powder does usually wash out when done fairly soon.  There are ways of "Staying the color" using vinegar.
