About the Event

🍂 Fall Color Run & Lil' Monster Dash 🎃

Join Thurston Woods Village for a fall favorite the whole family can enjoy! Lace up your shoes, grab your costume, and get ready to get colorful this October.

🧡 Lil' Monster Dash — 1 mile fun run for kids, starting at 9:00 AM

💜 5K Color Run — starting at 9:30 AM

Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome! Every participant gets a white long sleeve shirt and gets doused in five fall-colored powders along the route 💛🧡❤️💚

Costumes are welcome and encouraged, so bring your best Halloween spirit!

Lil' Monster Dash is a fun, low pressure 1-mile fun run! Kicking off at 9am right before the big 5K. It's not a race against the clock, it's about getting little ones moving, having fun, and feeling like a champion when they cross the finish line. Along the route there will be a mini scavenger hunt, bubbles and more!

After you cross the finish line, stick around for:

Fresh popped popcorn
Donuts & Warm cider
Pumpkins, hay bales, and fall decor for photos
Games and activities for kids including corn hole, pumpkin tic tac toe, and pumpkin painting

Bring your coworkers, your kids, and your neighbors for a morning full of community, fall fun, and color for a great cause. Scooters, strollers, bikes with training wheels, and wheelchairs are all welcome, we want everyone to join in and have fun in whatever way works best for them!
