The course is entirely on paved surfaces. For safety reasons wheeled devices (with the exception of wheelchairs) are not allowed on the course. Jogging strollers are permitted, but we ask that you start in the back of the pack so that your stroller does not create a tripping hazard. In order to hear instructions from course marshals and safety personnel during the event, we STRONGLY discourage the use of headphones.


The 1-mile run will also begin and end at Russell Street School. It will loop up the paved path to Shattuck Street and back down again, avoiding all roads save for a short stretch on Shattuck Street.

WEATHER & EVENT CANCELLATION:
The safety of the Color Dash participants is of the utmost importance.  Our hope is to run this event will be held rain or shine! If any of the threatening weather conditions listed below are present the day of the event, the event may be delayed or canceled.  When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, Littleton PTA/ Town officials maintain the right to cancel the event.  Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post-event activities to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety.  Such conditions fall under the label "Acts of God," and will not result in refunding of any race entry fees.  A household credit will be applied to your MyRec household account.

Threatening Weather Conditions
The Color Dash may be canceled or delayed if any of the following weather conditions exist:  Thunderstorms, "Heavy" Rain, Tornado or other major weather conditions.

Start of the Race / Cancellation of the Event
The start of the event may be delayed one hour from the posted start time if any of the above-mentioned conditions exist. The event may then be canceled if any of the weather conditions persist.

Authority to Cancel the Event
The Race Director, Danette Johnson, in accordance with the town and the local law enforcement, has the authority to cancel the event. If threatening weather conditions force cancellation of the event, no refunds can be provided, since funds were already spent in preparation for race day. In the event of cancellation, all Color Dash 5K/1Mile Fun Run participants will receive an email with information on how they can still receive their participant race kit.

Broadcast of Cancellation
If the event is canceled, we will notify all participants by email. A cancellation post will be made on the Littleton Public Schools Website, Littleton PRCE Website, Facebook, and Twitter pages, as well.
