Bottomline

Commissioners will consider approving an event permit for the 2014 Color Run on Oct. 18.

Background

The route for the Color Run will be different than it has been in past years. The route will begin and end at Watson Park in downtown Lawrence. Runners will start by heading east on Seventh Street, turning south on New Jersey Street, east on Eighth Street, south on Delaware, east on 11th, and then turn around at the area in front of the Penny’s Concrete Plant on E. 11th Street. The run, which features zones where runners are sprayed with colored corn starch, is expected to attract about 4,000 participants. Commissioners were scheduled to approve the event permit last week, but delayed the item for further consideration.
