_ The 2024 Croatan High School - Cougar Color Run (Newport):

5K RUN & 1 Mile Run/Walk
Who is ready for a Color Run?! That's right, come on out on April 27th and participate in the first-ever color run at Croatan High School hosted by the Croatan Athletic Boosters Club and the Croatan HS Cross Country/Track & Field teams. Our goal for this event is to celebrate the idea of having FUN, while being fit, and supporting high school athletics through the Croatan Athletic Boosters Club. Registration is open now and we hope to see you running wild with color. Please Note: We welcome runners who do not want to run in the color powder. We have a path set up around the color stations for each race. 
 
COLOR RUN COSTUMES
White shirts are the standard uniform for any color run. We will be including a white t-shirt for all registrations before April 12, 2023. You are not limited to the standard white t-shirt. Feel free to add in crazy socks, tutus, hats, etc...
 
RACE EVENT CANCELLATION
We are, at times, at the mercy of the unforeseeable circumstances that are beyond Croatan Athletic Boosters Club's control, and as such, CABC must have the ability to postpone or cancel these events when health and safety concerns (or other unforeseeable acts) warrant.
Weather: Unusually hot, humid, wet, cold, or icy conditions may cause the postponement or cancellation of a race. If rain is not persistent and has not compromised the race path, the race event will continue. However, if the following occurs: the existence of visible lighting, strong or dangerous wind conditions, hail, heavy rain, and flooding. The event will be postponed until a later date and time. All participant(s), sponsors, vendors, or others who have expended funds on the race will be notified.
