The St. Patrick’s Day Color run will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 17 at Stodden Park.

The substance-free event is billed as a healthy, alternative activity option for youth, families and the community to participate in on St. Patrick’s Day.

The even consists of a 1-mile fun run and a 5-kilometer race. You can run, walk or skip along the course laps as you are adorned with brilliantly-colored powder from a number of “color stations” along the way. Cost is $13 for the 1-mile fun run and $15 for the 5K.

A collaboration with the Spirit of Columbia Gardens will include music and activities hosted by students and other community organizations.

Participants can register online. Late registration and packet pick up will begin at noon.
