Event Description
The Harmony Parks Board is delighted to announce our first-ever Family Color Blast Fun Run/Walk at Sippel Reservoir Park (located behind Northgate Plaza) in Harmony, PA. We invite you to be part of this family-friendly untimed event, featuring a scenic 1.5-mile run/walk course that includes a portion of the historic Harmony Trail. As you journey through the course, prepare to be showered from head to toe in a vibrant array of colored powder! Following the run/walk, the festivities will continue with a lively Color Powder Toss Dance Party. Get ready for a larger-than-life celebration filled with music and an epic color powder throw, creating countless stunning color combinations.
Best of all, your participation will contribute to a wonderful cause—proceeds from the event will go toward replacing and refurbishing playground equipment at the Harmony Borough building. Join us for a day filled with laughter and fun with family and friends, all while making a meaningful contribution to our community. We can't wait to see you there!
