We are excited to invite the community to the 2014 Color the Mountain 5k on September 20, 2014 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Frazier Mountain Park. Join us for fun, food, youth information booths and ever more vibrant colors.

Color Walk/Runs have been sweeping our country as the most exciting 5k event on the planet. This is an alcohol-free, family event to raise money for a new opportunity for 40 young peer leaders to attend a Youth Leadership Camp Conference this June 26-27.

Join in the fun and help us meet our goal. Everyone is invited to get blasted with safe, nontoxic, allergy-free, colored cornstarch powder as you walk and run along the 5k track to an amazing finale where all participants create a rainbow of colors in the sky.

Registration will be $25 if purchased by July 31; $30 from August 1-31. You’ll receive an event T-shirt, head sweatband and wristband. Children 5 and under are free. Registration can be mailed to Mountain Communities Family Resource Center (to P.O. Box 1902, Frazier Park, CA 93225) or go online to http://colorthemountain.com
