Color Run This Saturday
By |
The Color in Motion 5K is a popular race wherein participants get covered in colored pigment throughout the course. This is a fun, family-friendly run involving many ages and skill levels. Along with the fun and good health aspects of the run, the event is promoting an even better cause. Funds raised from this event will help build a community walk/bike path near the new schools. The path will offer a safe place away from the main roads that can be used by students and the general community. It will be a great way to encourage kids and their families to spend time playing and exercising outdoors.
The event is being sponsored in part by the Central Community School System. You may register for the event at www.centralcss.org and use the Promo Code: CENTRAL. Kids ages 6 and under may register for free. Thank you also to platinum sponsors Central Physical Therapy and Neighbors Federal Credit Union.
Parking for participants will be on the school grounds on the south side of the school (near Gurney Rd). It is recommended that you enter from the Devall Rd entrance if possible. Parking will also be available at the old Central Middle School at the corner of Hooper & Sullivan, as well as at Zoar Baptist Church at the corner of Hooper & Joor. Shuttle buses will travel to and from both locations to the new school complex to drop off and pick up participants.
Several roadways in Central will be closed on Saturday, June 29, 2013 as part of the Color in Motion 5K Race. The roadways affected are Sullivan Rd, Joor Rd, and Gurney Rd in the area of the new Central Community School complex on Sullivan Rd. The event is expected to draw several thousand people to the city and will start and end at the school complex. The race course also includes streets in the Jackson Place subdivision.
Gurney Road between Joor and Sullivan will be closed westbound starting at 7:00 a.m. Gurney Rd will be closed in both directions starting at 8:45 a.m.
Starting at approximately 8:30 a.m., Sullivan Rd between Gurney and Joor will be closed.
