The International School at Dundee (ISD) held their 6th annual Greenwich Color Challenge on Saturday in partnership with the school’s PTA.
The much anticipated, community-wide event featured a 1.25-mile run/walk and obstacle course including 10+ obstacle stations and six color powder stations where participants are “dusted” with safe, non-toxic, washable color.
The event was a wonderful celebration of color, friends, family and fun, and everyone arrived decked out in their most colorful accessories, ready to run, walk, jump, dodge, duck, laugh and have a great time.
Once runners reached the finish line and received their ribbons, the fun continued with a variety of games, food and prizes.
“The Greenwich Color Challenge is one of our most coveted events at the International School at Dundee, inspired by the Indian festival of Holi where communities unite to throw vibrantly colored powders into the streets and onto each other in celebration of Spring,” said Bey-Shan Liu, ISD PTA president, adding that 100% of the proceeds from the popular event would go directly toward educational programming for all students in the school.
