Race Description

COLOR ME AU-SOME 5K Run/Walk is a charity run with a fun and colorful twist to benefit local children with autism who attend Augusta Levy Learning Center, West Virginia’s premier autism treatment program.

COLOR ME AU-SOME 5K is modeled after highly popular color runs throughout the country where participants are covered, coated, swathed, and plastered with color bombs of dry tempera paint powder at stations throughout the course. (Please Note: tempera powder contains eggs). Participants are encouraged to wear white t-shirts to the run/walk to fully engage in the “color-me process.” Sunglasses will be provided.

The COLOR ME AU-SOME 5K course incorporates one of the city’s oldest and most recognizable landmarks, the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. The course starts at the picturesque Wheeling Waterfront, goes through downtown, over the historic Wheeling Suspension Bridge, around Wheeling Island, back over the Suspension Bridge, and down Main Street returning to the waterfront.

*Please Note: Due to the city’s security regulations, NO STROLLERS, BACK PACKS, BAGS OR PURSES ARE PERMITTED AT REGISTRATION, ON THE COURSE, OR AT POST RACE ACTIVITIES.
