This event also encourages families in Santa Rosa County to be active together and to work toward more active lifestyles. Everyone is encouraged to wear white clothing and sunglasses during the family fun event. Participants will be showered with food-safe colored powders along the one-mile course. Bottled water and a light snack will be provided, and attendees will receive a gift bag, while supplies last. 

“Physical activity is very important to people of all ages to stay happy and healthy” said DOH-Santa Rosa Minority Health Liaison Erin Moore. “We are excited to provide this fun opportunity for all families in our community to be active together.”
