Event description
This community event on June 20, 2026 in Bellingham, Massachusetts brings together a timed 5K race and a non-timed Colorful Fun Run/Walk on the same course to support mental health awareness. Proceeds will be directed to a memorial scholarship at Worcester State University.
The timed entry is organized as a conventional 5K race. The Colorful Fun Run/Walk follows the same route without official timing; participants are encouraged to wear white and pass through stations where eco-friendly color powder is applied. Children under six may participate free with a registered participant without a separate signup.
On-site amenities listed for the day include a water station, after-race snacks, rock painting, and temporary tattoos. Volunteer roles are available for set-up and clean-up, registration table, finish line, water stations, activity tables, and color stations. Sponsorship opportunities are offered with several levels and examples noted, including a title sponsor at $1,400, community sponsors at $500, and smaller station or item sponsors from $100 to $200, plus a photography sponsor option as an in-kind donation.
Race and fun-run entry fees are stated for each event. The format combines a timed competition and a family-friendly color run with recreational activities and community involvement supporting a designated scholarship fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
