The highly anticipated second annual "Run for a Purpose" Color Run is set to unite community members in a celebration of fitness, philanthropy, and camaraderie. Taking place on Saturday, May 10, in DuBois, at Memorial Park near the Edward V. Cherry Amphitheater, this event presents an opportunity for individuals of all ages and fitness levels to participate in a dynamic and colorful race experience while contributing to a meaningful cause.

Participants have the flexibility to choose between two race options: a timed 5K color run/walk for those seeking a competitive challenge or a 1-mile color run/walk, ideal for individuals who prefer a more leisurely pace. By offering both options, the event ensures inclusivity and encourages a diverse range of participants to engage in physical activity in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Beyond the excitement of the race itself, attendees will have the chance to partake in an array of festivities designed to foster a lively and engaging atmosphere. The event will feature a 50/50 raffle, themed raffle baskets, an assortment of local food trucks, and a variety of vendors showcasing unique products. Additional attractions such as face painting, bounce houses, and interactive activities will provide entertainment for attendees of all ages, making it a fun-filled day for families, friends, and community supporters alike. Medals will be given to the first three finishers of each sex.

For those interested in participating, early registration comes with added benefits. Individuals who complete their registration by April 18 will receive an exclusive event T-shirt, serving as both a memento and a symbol of their involvement in this charitable initiative. This added incentive encourages early commitment and ensures participants can fully immerse themselves in the event’s vibrant atmosphere.

More than just a race, the "Run for a Purpose" Color Run exemplifies the power of community engagement and collective action for a greater good. Proceeds from the event will directly support Cohen’s Purpose, a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing Christ’s love with caregivers of children with special needs through respite and community resources. By participating, attendees will contribute to an initiative that provides essential support and encouragement to families in need.
