But if you’ve never tried a color run you need to.

The color run, held all over the world, is an untimed event that has no winners or prizes, and runners are showered with colored powder, made of food-grade corn starch at stations along the run.

And it’s a blast.

The course will begin at Briarcliff Middle School and continue throughout the woods and other beautiful fall scenery.

The run was created in honor of Suzanne Matuanno, and each year supports different programs, this year being the Y’s mental health youth programs.

The LHY Youth Mental Health 5K hopes to spread awareness about mental health, and throughout the run there will be onsite information about mental health from organizations, self-love activities, crafts and other fun initiatives.

There will also be prizes and giveaways such as capes and music throughout the entire day so if you aren’t running you are still bound to have a good time.
