DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: A Color Run is a fund-raising event for the Oneka Elementary and Hugo Elementary school.

Another deputy and car will be stationed at the Oneka Parkway/Frenchman Road intersection to prevent vehicles from entering. All other intersections will have adult crossing guards to block traffic and direct runners. The run is expected to last approximately two hours, and the road will be reopened immediately after all runners/walkers return to the school. • Limited parking will be at the front entrance parking lot at Oneka Elementary Participants are instructed to walk to the school if possible. • Color packets will be sprayed on runners at specified locations along the route. • A PA system will be used for announcements and a DJ playing until approximately noon. 9 Water and fruit will be available free of charge.
