Want to volunteer at the Color Run?
Update: We are very thankful for all of our parent volunteers, but due to the number of students, and limited space, we will have to ask that only students and staff be in the Multipurpose Room for the Glow Jam.
Please see EGUSD’s volunteering/fingerprinting policy. If you are not sure if you are cleared to volunteer, please ask the school office.
Color Run Frequently Asked Questions
What is the color made of? The color is primarily made of cornstarch and food color. View the complete ingredient list here.
Does the color stain? The color washes out relatively easily in the laundry. Boosterthon highly
recommends students do not wear items they are worried about possibly ruining, should the color remain in the slightest after wash. Wash your child’s Color Run clothes separatly.
Do I need to send a change of clothes/shoes for my child? It is recommended to have a change of clothes/shoes. If your student is not changing their clothes, we highly recommend that you bring a towel/old bedsheet, etc. for the car ride home, to avoid getting color in your vehicle.
Who will be throwing the color? Adult volunteers, teachers/school staff and the Booster team will be throwing color. Boosterthon discourages students throwing color.
How long will the run be? How many laps or is it time? The actual amount of time students will be running/walking/jogging is about 35 minutes. Students are encouraged to complete 30-35 laps.
How often (how many times) will the color be thrown? At each lap, each
station, at the end? Boosterthon has designated “color laps” built into the event’s custom soundtrack, about one every five minutes or so. The color lap lasts about 30 seconds
to a minute and is only conducted at the color stations located towards the
inner portion of the track.
What if my child is sensitive to stuff being thrown at them? Before the run begins, the Boosterthon Team reviews the safety rules. During this review, the team will explain to students that if they would like to avoid being exposed to the color powder, they should run towards the outer part of the track, as the “color zones” are located towards the inner portion of the
track.
