Due to order of the Governor of Illinois and our QPS Superintendent regarding the COVID-19 virus, all school events with participation over 250 people are required to be canceled until May 1. Unfortunately, our Dream Big in Color 5K Fun Run falls into that category. Therefore our event will be postponed or canceled. Existing registrations will be honored if we are able to reschedule. Our highest priority is the safety of our participants and compliance with state and federal directives to keep our community safe. Thank you for your patience and support.
It's back and better than ever - The only color run of its kind in the Western Illinois region!
