A Colorful Tradition That Brings Carroll Together

The Carroll Chamber of Commerce’s 11th Annual Color Run is more than a fun run or walk. It is a community event that brings families, friends, businesses, and visitors together for an energetic, colorful experience centered on connection, health, and hometown pride. Held at Swan Lake State Park along the Sauk Rail Trail, the Color Run creates a welcoming environment for participants of all ages and abilities. Whether someone comes to run, walk, volunteer, cheer on friends, or enjoy the atmosphere, the event helps strengthen the sense of belonging that makes Carroll special.

Sponsoring the Color Run = Benefits for Business

Sponsoring the Color Run gives businesses a visible, positive way to support the community, health, and wellness while promoting their brand. Sponsors do more than place their name on an event. They become part of the experience. Businesses have the chance to interact directly with participants, create memorable brand impressions, and show their commitment to Carroll in a family-friendly setting.


Color Run sponsorship benefits include:

  • brand inclusion on event signage or T-shirts
  • networking and stronger community connections
  • increased visibility with local families and community members
  • positive brand association with a fun, healthy, community-centered event
  • onsite engagement opportunities through booths and sponsor crews
  • A meaningful way to invest in Carroll’s quality of life and community energy
