The International School at Dundee (ISD), in collaboration with the ISD Parent Teacher Association (PTA), is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 8th Annual Greenwich Color Challenge. This highly anticipated community event will take place on Saturday, April 5, 2025, beginning at 9:00am
ISD is located at 55 Florence Road in Riverside, CT.
The event will be held rain or shine.
The Greenwich Color Challenge is a 1.5-mile fun run and obstacle course featuring multiple challenge stations and six color powder stations, where participants are playfully “dusted” with safe, non-toxic, and washable colors.
Those who prefer to bypass the color can simply run around the stations.
The event is a celebration of community, fitness, and fun, welcoming participants of all ages to run, walk, jump, dodge, and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
New this year, the event will feature a Best Spirit Contest, encouraging participants to dress in their most creative and colorful attire. From vibrant tutus to wacky socks and rainbow wigs, the two most spirited and dusted participants will be awarded prizes generously provided by Eugene Music Studio and OGRCC.
Following the race, attendees can continue the festivities with music, face painting, refreshments, and prize giveaways.
“The Greenwich Color Challenge is one of ISD’s most anticipated annual events, bringing together families, friends, and community members for a day of energy and excitement,” said Roli Agrawal, Co-President of the ISD PTA. “Beyond the fun, this event is crucial in supporting educational enrichment programs at ISD, benefiting our students and school community.”
Dana Firmender, ISD Prinicpal added, “We can’t wait for this fun-filled event! The ISD Color Challenge is a great way to celebrate being a part of this wonderful community. Whether you are running the challenge course, tossing color into the air, dancing to the music, or hydrating friends at the water stations, you will surely have a great time at this community event! It is sure to ‘Color’ your world.”
