Color the Quads is a unique race that allows runners and walkers to get blasted with bursts of color powder on the course. Last year’s Color the Quads sold out with 3,300 racers and the field has been expanded for 2014 to raise more money for local charities.
The 2014 Color the Quads event benefits three local organizations, Child Abuse Council, the local chapter of March of Dimes – Mississippi Valley Division and Rick’s House of Hope. The event brings colorful happiness to our community AND helps out local charities.
