From the Race Organizer
Think Spring! Join us for the second annual Bath at Play Spring Colors 5k and Half-k Color Run! Runners will enjoy a beautiful out and back 5k un-timed course through scenic downtown Bath bursting with its own spring colors. Participants will begin and end their color run at the lovely Bridge Park on the banks of the Kennebec River. Volunteers will be scattered along the course wafting those puffs of colored powder to runners. For the littler runners, a shorter course along the waterfront is available and they can do as many half-k color loops as their legs (and t shirts) can handle. The timing of the two runs means that the 5k participants will run first and can meet back up with their littles to get an added color burst. Scroll down for our FAQs and 5k course map. Limited Edition Bath at Play T-shirt sales will be available on race-day and we recommend pre-ordering your size during registration or on the store tab. Make a Colorful Impact! When you register, we hope you will consider
