Questions, answered

Color Run Fundraiser FAQs

Is there a printable Color Run checklist?

Yes — this page is built to print straight from your browser. It covers six weeks of planning, supplies, volunteers, event day, and follow-up.

What's the most-missed item on a Color Run checklist?

The two most-forgotten items are eye protection at color stations and pre-written share templates for parents. Both are small but make a big difference.

When should we order Color Run supplies?

Order color powder, t-shirts, and protective gear about two weeks before the event so everything arrives with buffer time. See the supplies guide for a full list.
