Color Run Offers Chance to Get Messy for a Cause

Sat, 05/21/2022 - 08:04

For those who don't mind getting a little messy while supporting a good cause, Sunday's Color Run at East Hampton High School, a fund-raiser for the school's freshman class, offers a chance to do just that.

Check-in is at 9 a.m. and the mile-and-a-quarter run begins at 10. Participants should wear all white so that bursts of colored powder along the course — consisting of washable cornstarch — create a rainbow effect.

The cost is $10 in advance or $15 on the day of the race. Admission for children is $5. Ticket purchases can be made online when following @ehhsclassof2025 on Instagram.
