Eagles 1 Mile Color Run

Hosted at the Grand Rapids Christian High School Eagles Stadium, this joyful event is a celebration of fitness, friendship, and school spirit, welcoming kids from Preschool through 8th grade. Participants in the 1-mile distance for Kindergarteners-8th grade will navigate a course that starts on the track, ascends a stadium ramp, extends through the parking lot to the Quest Center, and concludes back on the track. Younger runners (Preschool, ages 2-5) have a dedicated 1/2-mile course that utilizes the track and stadium ramp. Throughout both distances, runners will be showered with safe, washable color powder at lively color stations, ensuring a truly colorful and fun-filled journey.

This untimed color run is designed for pure enjoyment, offering a non-intimidating environment where creating memories takes precedence over setting speed records.

Each registered participant will receive a finisher's shirt, sunglasses, and a medal to commemorate their colorful accomplishment. The celebration continues at the finish line with music, snacks, and a final splash of color, creating a lively atmosphere for all. Parents and guardians are encouraged to join in the fun, whether by running alongside their children, walking, or cheering from the sidelines. The Eagles 1 Mile Color Run is more than just a race; it's a community event presented by the Grand Rapids Christian Schools Eagles Fun Run Club, promising a delightful evening of movement and vibrant fun for the whole family.
