The International School at Dundee (ISD) will host its first Greenwich Color Challenge Run and Obstacle Course on Saturday, Oct. 7, starting at 9 a.m.

The 1.5 mile run/walk starts and ends at ISD, taking participants on a journey around Riverside and Old Greenwich and through four or more powder color stations and over 10 obstacles. When travelling through the color stations, volunteers will throw non-toxic food-colored cornstarch at participants so by the end of the journey runners are a walking rainbow, according to the school’s PTA.

The event, which will be held rain or shine, is open to the public with all proceeds benefitting PTA-sponsored curriculum enhancements. Registration is available at GreenwichColorChallenge.com through Oct. 5 for $40. All Greenwich schools have a discount code that may be found in their respective newsletters.

“We are very excited to bring a color run to Greenwich! The event promises to be a blast and we hope to see local families and folks of all ages enjoying a morning of color, challenges and just plain fun,” said Ana Laborde, ISD PTA Co-President.

The course features obstacles such as Dangerous Dodgeball Alley, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, and The Spider Climb. Two water stations will be provided for runners along the course, and pre-registrants will receive a race pack with a t-shirt and sunglasses. All participants will receive a ribbon.

“We are thrilled to host the first and only color run in Greenwich. It’s a unique event as it caters to everyone – those with strollers, kids, tweens, teens and young adults as well as daring grandparents,” said Lindsey Fahey, ISD PTA Vice President of Fundraising. “We are excited for this to become another of Greenwich’s iconic, can’t miss events. We will be there wearing tutus, feather boas, and jogging sweatbands, ready to be pelted with colored powder. How about you?!”
