How to Choose a Color Run Company
Not all Color Run providers are equal. Here's the checklist that separates a great partner from an expensive one.
The provider you choose has more impact on your take-home than almost any other decision. The difference between keeping 50% and keeping 95–97% can outweigh the entire raise. Here's what to evaluate.
What to look for in a Color Run company
- How much your school keeps. Ask for the take-home percentage, not the gross. Get Movin' schools keep 95–97%.
- A real coach. A dedicated expert — ideally a former PTO/PTA volunteer — who plans the event with you, not a call center.
- A modern platform. Personal student pages, live tracking, and payments by card, PayPal, Venmo, and Apple/Google Wallet.
- Fast payout. Automatic ACH deposit after the event, not a check weeks later.
- Transparent fees. No surprise charges buried in the contract.
- Track record. Years of experience and verified reviews — Get Movin' has powered 10,000+ events and earned 1,300+ 5-star Google ratings since 2007.
Questions to ask any provider
- What percentage does our school actually keep?
- Do we get a dedicated coach, and what's their background?
- How and when do we receive our funds?
- What payment methods can donors use?
- Are there any fees not on the main pricing page?
Once you know your take-home, compare it against the averages so you can project real dollars, not headline numbers.
