Congratulations to all who completed the Color Blast! It was a beautiful day filled with color. ❤️💙

Thank you to all of our volunteers, who made this day go off without a hitch! If you have pictures please post on this page.

Below are the times, to the best of who we could catch. We tried our best to catch everybody and account for all but there inevitably were some we missed. Apologies also for any misspelling.

Thanks to all who helped make today a success!

Tomorrow is the big day! It’s the night before the Highlander Color Blast, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome everyone to the starting line.

While the race is all about fun and community, we have some very special hardware waiting for our participants. Check out these incredible, one-of-a-kind art prizes and custom keychains, all hand-made with heart by our very own Cambria Heights students! 🎨✨

Each piece is unique, showcasing the amazing talent we have right here in our schools. Our runners aren't just competing for a time—they’re taking home a piece of Highlander pride.

A huge thank you to the students who created these masterpieces. We can't wait to see which ones you'll take home.
See you all at the finish line! 🏃‍♂️🌈💨
