Welcome to Color Me Rad: Liberty Lake 5K & RAD Festival

Waves start at 9AM & The RAD Festival runs ‘til the party dies!

This isn’t your average 5K. It’s a technicolor explosion of messy, main-character energy with optional jogging and mandatory good vibes. Whether you’re running, walking, skipping, or twerking your way through it — just know you’re about to be covered in rainbows.

Packet Pickup Party

Friday, June 20 | 12PM–7PM @ Liberty Lake MØDE Campus

Drive up, vibe out — we’ll have a map with parking zones marked.

Bring your ticket screenshot to pick up your bib, sunglasses, and your soon-to-be-ruined white tee. Yes, you'll get a race shirt — and yes, you’re gonna want to decorate it.

• We’ve got fabric markers, paint stations, and full-on art kid energy.
• Allow 20–30 minutes to color it up before the chaos begins.

If you can’t make it on Friday to pick up your packet, you can also come on race day:

Saturday, June 21 | Starting at 8AM @ Liberty Lake MØDE Campus

Bonus: You’ll get a sneak peek at the RAD Festival setup.

Race Day Rundown

Saturday, June 21 – Liberty Lake, WA

Here’s how the schedule shakes out:

• 8:00 AM – Check-in / Late Packet Pickup
• 9:00 AM – 5K Wave 1
• 10:00 AM – 1 Mile Kids + Family Run
• 11:00 AM – 5K Wave 2
• 11:30 AM – 🎉 RAD FESTIVAL Starts

🌀 Waves release every 5 minutes — so if you're early to the start line, you're early to the color bombs.

We launch smaller groups every few minutes to keep the chaos flowing just right. It's all about optimizing your run-to-rainbow ratio. (Yes, we’re basically scientists.) Keep an ear on the announcer — and remember: first in line = first to fly.

👋 Please be nice and wait your turn. We promise: everyone gets out, everyone gets messy, and no one gets left behind in the rainbow dust.
‍

What Else Is Happening?

Once you cross that finish line (or stumble through it mid-selfie), the real party begins:

• Stage Games with prizes — think tissue box twerk battles, giant rock-paper-scissors, and Look Up / Look Down showdown.
• Slime pool, bounce houses, and a spray paint a car station (yes, seriously).
• Live music, food trucks, beer garden, face paint, and DIY shirt art.
• Interactive booths from each “Mode” — vote for your fave in the “Battle of the Modes.”

FAQs

Q: Do I need to run the whole 5K?
‍A: LOL. No. Run, walk, dance, crawl — just make it colorful.

Q: Can I run in multiple waves (like with my kids)?
‍A: Totally. Parents can jump in for the family mile AND the 5K. Just don’t double dip on color packets ;)

Q: Are strollers cool?
‍A: Yup — but maybe cover it with a tarp unless you want rainbow wheels.

Q: What if it rains?
‍A: Even better. The powder pops HARD when wet.

Q: Where do I park?
‍A: Parking map is coming soon to your inbox + social. Volunteers will guide you onsite.
‍

Reminders

• Please stay on the course — not just for your safety, but so volunteers can keep the party flowing.
• Be kind to our crew. Most volunteers are local teens, color-slinging in exchange for snacks and community service hours.
• Respect the powder — don’t blast people’s faces point-blank or dump handfuls in water stations.
