The YMCA Color Splash is a family-focused fun run offering 1K and 5K routes on September 26, 2026 at Fairgrounds Park, 351 N Cleveland Avenue, Hagerstown, MD 21740. Participants move through multiple color stations where colored powder is thrown along the course. A finish line clock will be visible but no timing chips are used.
Registration includes a participant t-shirt available at packet pick-up, a goodie bag, healthy snacks and water, a finisher's medal, and access to on-course stations listed below. The event features five color stations, three specialty stations, and two hydration stations. Packet pick-up is available at the YMCA on Thursday, September 24 and Friday, September 25, and also the morning of the event.
