Important information on parking and a schedule of events!

    In order to ensure the safety, ease and convenience of not only the participants of Nicole's Color Me Orange, but also that of the community. There are some things to be aware of. Once the non color/color run has begun it will be difficult to get to Blacksmith Park directly. There are a few side streets that will give you access to the event at the park. Below are some parking suggestions. Once the run has been completed by all the registered participants the road blocks will be removed and you can move about freely.

    Please respect our volunteers at the designated road blocks. Their job is to direct the run in a safe manner. The roads on the course will need to remain available for residents to leave or return to their homes. If you are a participant please be aware of vehicles. We do not expect roads to be busy, however we do need to allow thru traffic. A reverse 911 call will be made on Friday May 2nd to alert residents of the event. Our volunteers will be working hard to direct runners, traffic and help you find a convenient parking spot. Be kind.

Cross your fingers!

    With a few tweaks to the finish, you are looking at the proposed course! When we first approached the city for permission to hold Nicole's Color Me Orange, they were reluctant. Once we suggested keeping the route up above main street in the neighborhoods surrounding the very families that know and love Nicole they were on board! The rest has been a whirlwind! If you opted for the orange color run, color stations will be placed every 1/2 mile for your "color me orange" convenience! Those of you participating in the 10k will have double the color fun! Plan on crossing the finish line with a awesome orange glow about you! Then join the party in the park to add some complimentary colors! 

    After final approval we will move forward with more information!!
