2018-19 COLOR Run General Info
● Students must have the COLOR RUN orange wristband on at all times and have it visible in order to wear running/athletic attire (guidelines for the Color Run Dress code will be shared with all students).
● Check-outs will be difficult so if you know your parents are going to check you out on Friday, parents MUST them check students out prior to the run….before 1:00.
● If your parents are coming to watch the run, they can park at The Met and either walk to a spot along the route or catch at bus at 12:45 - 1:00pm from The Met to Bumpus. The bus will return to The Met at 3:00.
● Students will NOT bring backpacks to school on the day of the Color Run. Students can bring a clear water bottle and cellphone in a small bag to school but they cannot use the cellphone during the color run. The color (cornstarch), water and potential for damage from a drop is too high. Students will take his/her belongs to the assigned field BEFORE the color run - Students WILL NOT go back in the building during or after the Color Run. The only exception is that we will have one restroom available during and after the Color Run (the restroom by the cafeteria). WE HAVE SUGGESTED TO OUR TEAM 6-1 STUDENTS TO NOT BRING THEIR CELLPHONES ON COLOR RUN DAY! WE WILL PROVIDE WATER BOTTLES ON TEAM 6-1 AS A RESULT OF OUR GRACIOUS TEAM 6-1 PARENTS!
● Teachers will have a map of the Color Run route. Non-participants will be stationed along the route to cheer on participants. The only exception are students that cannot participate due to medical reasons - these students will remain in the media center.
● We will have 2 nurses on duty during the Color Run.
● Color packets cannot be opened inside in the building before going outside. ● All color packets must be used.
● Do not forcefully throw powder at people's faces or on people who do not have on a Color Run or plain white t-shirt….it means they chose NOT to participate.
● It’s not a RACE….it’s a run or walk but keep it moving.
● Do NOT stop at color stations….keep it moving.
● If you don’t want color then run/walk around that color station.
● After the run, stay in the designated student area on the assigned fields.
● EVERYONE will need to pick up trash before we leave.
● If you ride carpool, you may want to have your parents cover their car seats.
