Course & Travel Notes

The Sensory Fun Color Run & Walk takes place in Huntsville on October 4th, 2026, with the festivities kicking off at 1:00 PM, so you'll have a nice morning to grab breakfast before heading over. You'll want to fly into Redstone Army Air Field, which is conveniently just 5.5 miles from the venue—super close for getting settled in. Pack layers since early October in Huntsville typically sees highs around 76°F and lows around 52°F, and there's about a 25% chance of rain that day, so bringing a light jacket and maybe an umbrella wouldn't hurt. The venue sits at 771 feet elevation, which is pretty modest, so you won't have to worry about altitude affecting your run or walk.
