Soda Springs High School is hosting their first annual “Cardinal Color Rush” as a fundraising event for the Physical Education and Athletic Departments. The goal is to improve the existing weight room by replacing old weight machines, free weights, and flooring.
In this non-timed event, participants dress in white clothes, run, walk, or stroll the three mile course, and come out covered in a multitude of color! Families welcome and there will be a 3/4 mile kids course too!
Each paid registration will include a race bib, one packet of color, and one entry into the raffle/drawing. We will do our best to make sure everyone will receive a CCR t-shirt.
Thanks to Paul Gritton, we will be able to offer a shirt to everyone who signs up early for CCR! We have put in our first two orders. If you sign up the day of, we will do our best, but cannot guarantee anything. A BIG THANKS TO PAUL GRITTON ON THIS!
Late fee of $5 for on site, day of registration. So sign up early! ($20 through May 23, $25 on May 24)
Packet pick-up will be on Friday, May 23, from 5-8 pm. We will resume on Saturday morning at 7:30 am. This will be held at Soda Spring High School, near the doors closest to the football field.
Extra individual color packs & CCR items will be available for purchase. Additional raffle tickets may also be purchased. The Cross Country team will also be hosting a Baked Potato Bar!

Gather up your friends! Sign the whole family up! How about those co-workers? Create a team and dress-up! Rally your circle of friends and come enjoy the party-like atmosphere.
Rain or Shine...Get ready to move!
This is not a timed event. You do not have to go the full distance. You may choose a shorter distance and may stop your "Rush" at any time. The only requirement is for you to come out and have a great time!
Anyone can participate. We welcome walkers, joggers, crawlers, runners, little tykes, older tykes, anyone! If you want to push a stroller...go ahead, just make sure it is not your special, fancy stroller that you will freak out on when it gets color on it.
We are working on gathering sponsors, volunteers, and donations for a drawing. If you would like to participate in any of these, please contact Shawnae Somsen at 208-547-4308.
FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. What do I wear? Wear old white clothes, like an old t-shirt. The color may stain, it is formulated not to stain, however if it gets wet, it may stain. Sunglasses are a good idea too.
2. Should I wear my CCR t-shirt to the event? That is your choice. If you want to keep it looking new and snazy...don't wear it. If you want it for this event and possibly be colorful...wear it!
3. How do I keep the color on my clothes? They recommend spraying it with vinegar, and letting it sit. Then washing in HOT water.
4. How do I get rid of the color? First off, shake off any color that you can. You can use the blowing stations at the event also. When it comes time to wash, use COLD water to rinse first. Do this with your clothing as soon as possible. A magic eraser works wonders on items or skin. Bring a towell to set down in your car, or a spare change of clothes. Many people wear their colors with pride all day!
5. What about my hair? If you want to protect your hair, wear a bandana, hat, or other item. It is also recommended to put some leave-in conditioner in your hair before the event. This helps the color not be absorbed. Then, just keep rinsing...it will eventually come out.
6. Can I bring a stroller? Absolutely...just not your finest. It will get color on it. Also make sure to protect your little ones eyes with sunglasses. These little guys have a ball!
7. What do I do with my color packet? At the end of the "Rush", as you cross the finish line, each participant will be given a color packet. Save these for the finish party color clouds.
8. What is a "Color Cloud"? Every 15 minutes we will have a group countdown at the finish party. You will take a handfull of your color and throw it in the air! It is quite an epic moment. Multiple colors are going everywhere! A photo moment for sure. We continue our color clouds throughout our finish party, so don't worry about being first or last...we won't let you miss out!
9. How do I take pictures? Some people want their own pictures on thier own camera. Just be aware, color is everywhere. If you choose to bring yours, protect it. Some people put it in a baggy, others use disposable, and some just buy the pictures the event offers. Paul Gritton will be taking pictures throughout the event. There will be a photo opportunity along the backstop of the baseball field...so gather your team and some color!
10. What about Kids? They are welcome. They have a blast!
