The event features a 3 miles color run/walk that begins with a color powder toss and includes three color stations where volunteers apply color to participants along the route.

The event focuses on fundraising for metastatic breast cancer research and lists METAvivor Research & Support as the fundraising organization.

Program elements include participant check in, a start with a color toss, volunteer-run color stations, and raffle items with winners announced after the walk.
