CUMBERLAND VALLEY, PA (August 4, 2014) - On August 30, 2014, the
most colorful party will come to Carlisle Pennsylvania. The Color Vibe 5k will
be held for the first time at the U.S. Army Heritage & Education Center.
Spaces are filling up quickly and 1,500 participants are already planning to
attend this run and party.
Through a partnership between the Carlisle
Barracks Morale, Welfare & Recreation, the Cumberland Valley Visitors
Bureau, and the U.S. Army Heritage & Education Center, Color Vibe agreed to
add Carlisle Pennsylvania to this year's schedule and bring this colorful event
to our area.
"Carlisle Barracks Morale Welfare and Recreation is excited
to partner with Color Vibe and the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau to provide
a very exciting event" said Christopher Reitman, Marketing Manager at
Carlisle Barracks MWR.
The Carlisle course is anything but mundane. Participants can walk, jog or run
through history as the route will include the Army Heritage Trail, which is accented by a Huey helicopter,
M-46 Patton tank and outdoor exhibits from the French & Indian War era
through the present, and the scenic landscape along the perimeter of the Carlisle Barracks Golf Course. "We look forward to a
great event at the U.S. Army Heritage Education Center that can be enjoyed by
people of all ages" said Reitman.
The US
Army Heritage Education Center (USAHEC) is the premier facility for
historical research on U.S. Army history and is dedicated to "Telling the
Army story...one Soldier at a time."
Participants will experience a very colorful, fun-filled day that is more than
just a typical run. The point of this event is not to race, but to literally
become a canvas of color, to be active, and to share a life experience with
friends and family. All attendees will be blasted at four color stations
throughout this unique 5k run.
"We are delighted to assist with this new family-friendly event in
Cumberland Valley," said Dawn Rickenbach, CVVB Tourism Development
Manager. "We hope this unique setting for the Carlisle Color Vibe will
become a mainstay in our area for friends and family to enjoy year after
year."
On race day, there will be music in the air and an MC that will pump everyone
up and lead the crowd with stretches and dancing. The countdown begins and
participants take on their colorful adventure.
At the end of the race, a DJ and MC await to get the party started and everyone
can celebrate by dancing and more colorful fun.
Registration includes entry in the 5k Color Vibe Run, official Color Vibe
t-shirt, Color Vibe color pack and a Color Vibe prize. If you would like to
