color blast run

Tahoe Youth and Family Services, who serve the communities of Alpine County, Douglas County and South Lake Tahoe, is holding their fourth ColorBlast Run fundraiser on August 20. This event is part of the Carson Valley Medical Center’s Health Fest 2016.

A fun 3k walk with a twist is the next fundraiser for Tahoe Youth & Family Services. After this summer's successful Color Blast Run, they are now having an Ugly Sweater Walk starting at 10 a.m. on November 14, 2015 at Lake Tahoe Community College.

The agency's intern, Indee Lacayo, is planning the event as part of her Community Health curriculum at the University of Nevada, Reno. Lacayo is a lifelong South Lake Tahoe resident.

Tahoe Youth and Family Services is holding their Color Blast Run this Saturday at Lake Tahoe Community College. This fun, fundraiser is a 5k walk/run around the LTCC campus, and it's not just any 5k walk/run! Participants get doused with color around the course so when they cross the finish line they're covered from head to toe in color!

The original run was postponed to October 11 due to unhealthy air in September from the King Fire. This weekend will be a great fall day for the event and it's not too late to sign up.

Bursts of color surrounded the over 100 runners as they participated in the inaugural Tahoe Youth and Family Service's Color Blast Run on Saturday, September 14. The 5k course meandered through the Lake Tahoe Community College parking lot, streets and bike paths. The race name comes from colored cornstarch that is doused over the runners and they pass by strategically placed stations along the course. Once the runners came across the finish line there was a celebration of dancing and lots more color being tossed.
