Refund and Weather Cancellation Policies

Color Runners' safety is the most important thing and if any of the threatening weather conditions listed below are present the day of the event, the event may be delayed or canceled.  When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, The Color Run officials maintain the right to cancel the event. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post event festival to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. Such conditions fall under the label "Acts of God," and will not result in refunding of any race entry fees or future event credits.
