About the Event

Join us for the 2025 annual Echo Lake Color Challenge on Sunday, July 6th at 10:00 a.m. Walkers and runners will once again travel a 5K out and back course alongside beautiful Echo Lake. Participants will be showered with colored powder at five color stations throughout the course. This is a family fun event that is open to people of all ages and all abilities. All money goes to support Echo Lake Protective Association 501(c)(3).

We are keeping the non-refundable registration fees the same as previous years for people who pre-register for the event. Once again, we will provide sunglasses, white t-shirts, post-race snacks and raffle tickets to win prizes. You must be present to win raffle prizes. Individual registration fee is $15 per person; day of event registration is $20. Or you can form a “team” of four friends, family, or neighbors. Team registration fee is $50 per team of four people; day of event team registration is $60. The couples registration fee is $30; day of event registration is $40.

Pre-registered packet pickup and race day registration begins at 9:00 a.m.

See you at the Color Challenge!
