Nephi Rec Fest 5k Color Run

Join us for a fun, simple 5k color run through the streets of Nephi on Saturday, June 1st, 2019. Pre-registered participants will receive chalk packets and glasses. Same day registration is available. Chalk packets and glasses we handed out on a first come first serve basis until supplies run out for same registrations. Be prepared to be doused with color at different locations (each kilometer) throughout the race. Racing bibs will not be provided. A clock will set up but no official times will be recorded. A one mile course will be provided for those who are interested. Cost will be $10 for each participant for all age divisions whether you run/walk the 5k or 1 mile.

If you have any questions contact the Nephi Rec office at 435-623-1004 or Melinda Matheson at 801-514-0431.

Is color powder safe?
Our colors are made with high quality cornstarch and food dyes. All materials are 100% FD&C and/or D&C grade and approved by the US FDA. However our product is not designed for consumption. 

Is the powder harmful if you inhale it?
Although all the materials are food grade we do not recommend inhaling large quantities of color powder. Anyone who has asthma, is allergic to any of the ingredients or has any respiratory issues should exercise caution when participating in color powder events. 

Does color powder stain clothing?
Our color powder washes out of most clothing. However, it can stain some materials. 100% cotton clothing is recommended and typical machine washing with stain remover, removes the stains. We recommend removing excess powder from clothing before washing and/or applying water.

Does color powder stain skin or hair?
Just as with clothing we recommend shaking off all excess powder before exposing to water. Normal soap and water should remove color powder from skin and hair. Some color does tend to linger for a few days especially on blonde hair. If you are worried about staining, we recommend applying a moisturizer to skin and coating your hair with a small amount of coconut or olive oil before the event.
