🌈 Color Fun Run - Registration is Live! 🏃‍♀️

Color Run is LIVE! 

Saturday, October 24, 2026   |   11:00am - 1:00pm   |  BBE Track

 

 

Students will run, walk, skip, or dance their way around the BBE Track and through a fun obstacle course. Along the way, volunteers will shower them in bright, non-toxic, colored powder. It's not a competition, and all ages are welcome! Each student sets their own pace, and the goal is to cheer each other on and have a blast as One Pack!

 

🌈 Registration is now open! Visit myfunrun.com/bbe to register your student and create their personal fundraising page. Family and friends anywhere in the country can support our students, and all proceeds stay right here at Barbara Bush Elementary.  

 

👕Students may wear any white t-shirt, or families can purchase an official Color Fun Run tee on MTK: [HERE]. With special laundering instructions, the colored powder can be "set," leaving your student with a one-of-a-kind souvenir that's also dress-code approved for future use!  The deadline to order shirts is October 16 at 11:59pm.

 

🏆 Prizes will be awarded to top individual earners in each classroom, the top 3 school-wide fundraisers, and every classroom that reaches 100% participation. Prize details are on the fundraising site Prize Page.  Prizes are NOT tied to number of laps students complete or how fast they go.  It's a fun run, not a competitive race.

 

🙋‍♂️ Sign up HERE to volunteer.  We need volunteers for color stations, the obstacle course, check-in, and cheering.  You must be VIPS-approved to help out.

 

👩‍👦 All student attendees MUST be accompanied by an adult.

 

 

FAQ's

How do I register multiple students to run and fundraise?

If you have more than one student participating in the run, then return to the BBE Fun Run home page after you create the first student profile, and re-select Registration / Login.  Look for the red button with the + sign to create another student profile.  One parent or guardian login can have multiple students on the same account.  

 

Will there be food?

YES!  Concessions will include pizza, hot dogs, popcorn, drinks, and more. Concessions will be handled with tickets. Tickets can be pre-purchased on the MTK website now OR bought at the event.  Tickets are either in a discount bundle of 11 for $10 or individual tickets for $1 each.  Tickets and wristbands that are pre-purchased can be picked up the day of the event at the check-in table. 

🍧 The Kona Ice truck will also be on site selling shaved ice.  Kona Ice will not accept BBE concession tickets; any items purchased require separate payment.  

 

How does fundraising work?

• Go to myfunrun.com/bbe to register and set up your student's personal page, then share the link by text, email, or social media. Our goal is to raise $25,000!  
• All proceeds from donations stay at Barbara Bush Elementary. 
• Tips are completely optional and would go to the fundraising platform, MyFunRun, to enhance and sustain their free services.  The site defaults to a 15% tip.  To opt out or change the tip, click the slider button and type in your preferred tip (it can be $0).   

Is there an entry fee for adults and small children?

No, parents/guardian, grandparents, etc. can come watch the fun for free.

Children under the age of 4 are also free.

• students from other schools 

Wristbands are available for purchase for $5 either AT the event -OR- can be pre-purchased on MTK along with t-shirts and concession tickets HERE.

 

Bush students who register and fundraise with myfunrun.com/bbe do NOT need a $5 entry wristband from the MTK sales form.  They will be given an entry wristband at event check in.

 

Is there a minimum age to participate in the Color Run?

We can't be there right at 11:00.  Should we still come?

Yes!  There is not one set start time for the run itself.  Students can navigate around the track and the obstacles throughout the event.  There will be plenty of colored powder.  Students who are not there right at the start will still get showered in color. 

 

Besides a white shirt, what should students wear?

We recommend sunglasses or googles, old clothes or sneakers, and hair tied back or shower caps during the event. Pack a towel or old sheet for the car ride home! 

 

Is the colored powder safe?

Yes. The powder is non-toxic and cornstarch-based. It brushes off skin and washes out of hair. Ask the PTO if you have specific concerns about allergies or sensitivities.

Prizes go to top earners in each classroom, the top 3 school-wide donors, and every classroom that hits 100% participation. Check out the full prize list on the funraising site:  Prize Page

Color can be made permanent by soaking the item in vinegar, allowing it to air dry, and then ironing it before putting it through the regular wash.

 

Is there a rain date? 

Yes, in the event of unsafe weather on October 24, the event will be held on November 7 instead.

 

Are shirts, tickets, and entry wristbands refundable if something comes up?
