The Happiest Run of the year is BACK! 🌈🏃🏽♀️The Asian Indian Women’s Organization is thrilled to welcome you to AIWO Color Me Holi 5K, returning to Washington Park on Saturday, April 25, 2026!
Come celebrate HOLI—the vibrant Indian festival of colors that marks spring, love, and new beginnings, with a joyful, family-friendly morning filled with color play, Bollywood beats, community fun, and delicious Indian treats.
This Earth Day Weekend we celebrate more than just miles — we celebrate color, culture, community, and the Earth beneath our feet. Inspired by the spirit of Holi, the festival of colors, this event reminds us that life is meant to be lived vibrantly, joyfully, and together.
As we run, dance to Bollywood beats, and play with colors, we are also planting seeds of impact. This fundraiser supports community gardens — spaces where fresh food grows, neighbors connect, children learn about sustainability, and communities flourish.
Every splash of color today represents hope.
Every step forward supports greener spaces.
Every smile strengthens our community.
So let’s run with energy, celebrate with heart, and grow something beautiful — together.
Happy Holi, Happy Earth Day, and let the colors fly!
Proceeds to benefit 'The Motherland Community Project'.
