Color the Knight

The Color the Knight event is a family-oriented community celebration scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2026, in Spring Valley, Minnesota. Hosted by the Kingsland School Parents (KSP) at Kingsland Elementary School, this fundraiser combines a festive atmosphere with a color run. The evening is designed to bring together local families for an experience featuring music, food, and organized physical activity.

The event is structured to accommodate a large number of participants through two separate race heats. While the color run is the main attraction, the three-hour window includes various entertainment options on the school grounds. Participants who finalized their registration by mid-April were guaranteed a commemorative event t-shirt and a race bag to enhance their experience during the color-throwing segments of the run.

Kingsland School Parents (KSP) serves as a bridge between the educational environment and the home, organizing events that promote school spirit and community bonding. Funds raised during "Color the Knight" typically go toward supporting elementary school initiatives, classroom resources, and student activities that fall outside the standard institutional budget. This event emphasizes local engagement and provides an accessible way for residents of Spring Valley and the surrounding North Section Avenue area to support their local school system.

For individuals registering after the mid-April shirt deadline, the event remains open for participation, though shirts and race bags are no longer included in the late-entry packages. Very young children (ages two and under) are welcome to join the festivities free of charge, ensuring that the event remains inclusive for families with toddlers. The Kingsland Elementary School grounds provide the designated infrastructure for the course and the post-run social gathering.

For specific inquiries regarding the course layout or volunteer opportunities for the 2026 event, interested parties can contact Josi Chase. The KSP encourages all attendees to wear light-colored clothing to maximize the visual effect of the color powder distributed throughout the course heats.
