Event Overview
The Crusaders United Color Run is a fundraising event organized by Tyburn Academy in Auburn, New York. It is the second annual edition of the run. The event supports two organizations: half of the proceeds go to Tyburn Academy's mission, and the other half are designated for the United Way of Cayuga County to support their Financial Stability and Community Resilience funding pillars.
Event Format
The event offers three participation options on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
- Crusaders United 5K Color Run/Walk: An in-person, generally untimed 5K run or walk at Everest Park. The course features color stations where volunteers apply color to participants. A timer will be at the finish line, and awards will be given to the first three finishers.
- Crusaders Virtually United 5K Color Run/Walk: A virtual 5K option where participants can run or walk from any location.
- Crusader Kids United in Color Fun Run/Walk: A shorter course for children 8 years and under, starting after the main 5K event.
