Welcome to our 5K and Color Fun Run Page!  Whether you are an avid runner or just a fan of fun, we are so glad to have you!

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, we would love to have your support for our annual race.  

Ways to support:

1. Sign up to run the 5K (click the button above).  Our course can be viewed below.  It is a wonderul run through beautiful Old Town Olive Branch, OB High, and OB Middle.  The fee for the run is $35.00.  Members of The Arc NWMS will receive a $10 discount by using the code ArcMemberDiscount at checkout.

2. If you love our mission and would like a race t-shirt, but you are not excited about completing the actual run, sign up to be a Spirit Runner.  The fee is $25.  You will be helping our nonprofit, getting a cool t-shirt, and not getting sweaty from running.

3. Sign up for the color fun run if you are looking to come out for some BIG FUN!  The cost of the race is $10 for the general public and free for our member families at The Arc NWMS with the code ArcMemberDiscount.  Color run participants will sign up in teams of at least 2 people.  We will be offering prizes for the following categories:

• Most Money Raised - There is a DONATE Button on the race website.  Get out there and get some donations!

• Best Team Costumes - Get your creativity on.

• Best Team Name - We love funny names.

• Best Team Spirit - Bring out your best attitude of love, fun, and understanding.
  
  You can see the course of the Color, Fun Run below.  If you are a person that would like to have some BIG COLOR thrown at you, you will be given a green balloon to hold for the run.  If you would like just a small amount of COLOR heading your way, you will be given a yellow balloon.  If you would like NO COLOR powder tossed at you, you will be given a red balloon.  We will do our very best to follow the balloon indicators when tossing color at our FUN RUN participants.
  
  4.   Sign up to be a vendor!  A 5K and Color Fun Run are even MORE FUN when we have awesome vendors.  Last year we had a very successful (but small) Vendor's Market.  We are planning a much bigger market this year.  The vendor fee is $50.  Members of The Arc NWMS will pay a $25 vendor fee.
