Join The Fun! Lexington Town Launches Color The Curve 300 Challenge

Press release from the Town of Lexington:

April 29, 2020

Let’s color the curve together with this "color run" inspired program for all ages!

Color the Curve 300 is a fun way to earn points for your activities - running, walking, building a fort - anything that's active. And if you earn enough points, you get a t-shirt, plus 1 - 3 color packets that you can throw around in the street to make your family, friends and neighborhood colorful!

Let's see how much color we can add to Lexington!

How Does it Work?

Color the Curve 300 runs from May 11 to June 14.

Download and print our Color the Curve 300 Log. Use this log to find activities that you can apply towards achieving your points. The log also includes blank spaces where you can add additional activities you love, so you can earn points doing your favorite activities!

Activities my include running, walking, gardening, building a fort, home bowling, hot potato... you name it, it counts! 10 minutes of activity = 3 points. The more points you earn, the more colors you get to celebrate with afterwards!

100+ points = 1 color / 200+ points = 2 colors / 300+ points = 3 colors

Register online by June 1. Registration is $25, and there's a discount for registering multiple people (see below).

• For every 10 minutes of activity, you earn 3 points.
• Activities count between May 11 and June 14
• Every 100 points completed, earns you a color packet- up to three colors (300 points).
