It takes a village to create a COLOR RUN!
We’re looking for volunteers to help make the day amazing for our students.
Volunteer opportunities may include: • Color stations • Water stations • Course helpers • Setup • Cleanup
Want to help?
Sign up here: Color Run Sign Up Genius
Thank you for helping us make this event possible!
The countdown is officially ON! Our first ever COLOR RUN is almost here!
Date: October 15, 2026
What is a COLOR RUN?
Similar to a "jog-a-thon" students will run or walk the course while passing through COLOR STATIONS where volunteers will give a light spray of color water onto their shirts provided by PTA!
This year we are doing our Color Run in house - which means we get to keep 100% of the proceeds! Our goal is $25,000! ALL funds raised will go to support field trips, student enrichment & programs at Mission!
How to support your runner(s) in the Color Run:
Register your student as a runner and share their fundraising goal
Donate to your runner's team (class)
Purchase and decorate a sign, which will be posted around the track the day of the run.
Contests will be held leading up to the day of the Color Run, including a popcorn party for the class with the most registered runners, the opportunity to silly string the staff for runners that raise $100+, and more!
The Color Run is made possible by volunteers, please sign up to volunteer here.
Join us for a fun and active way to start the school day! Students and families are invited to Walk, Bike, or Roll to School together.
