You’ve seen the signs around school, over the drinking fountains and tacked on the hallway walls. Liberty’s very own Key Club is hosting their second annual Color Run on Saturday, Oct. 22 between 8 and 11 a.m on the track at the LHS campus.

The Color Run is an untimed “fun run” where participants can walk, run, or jog along the course. During the course, they are given white shirts to wear and will walk/run through “splash zones”, where they will be splashed with different colors, and after the run, there’s a final “color toss celebration”.

“It unleashes everyone’s childish side, to throw color on other people,” senior Haley Sante said, who is the president of Key Club and organizer of the event.

The run is intended to be a fun run and not necessarily competitive.

Usually the Color Run is a 5K (3.1 miles), but Key Club decided to make some changes to make it less intimidating.

“We want to get that message across, that it’s supposed to be fun,” Key Club sponsor Ms. Borders said addressing their new changes on the run.

Another new feature is that participants can run whatever length they want.

“People can walk the whole thing. We wanted to make it a fun run. People can come and do one lap and leave,” Borders said.

Key Club invites students, along with those from the community to join them in their run, for only $20.

The minimum amount of participants to make the race happen is 100 and Ms. Borders and Sante both hope to see 200 runners this year to make the race successful.

In order to get your race bib, color packet, and t-shirt, make sure to register by Oct. 2. The event is also online at Eventbrite (LHSKeyClub.eventbrite.com).

“We work really hard on it, it’s almost a two month project,” Sante said. “The hard work really pays off; it’s really fun. We want people to get involved and see their hard work paid off.”
