color run

Are you a parent looking for a unique day of family fun with your kids where you can possibly get them involved in fun and healthy programs that will last through the summer? Could you use a little bit of fun yourself? Then do we have something for you this Saturday at the Butte Family YMCA as "Healthy Kids Day" will be taking place, and your family is invited.

Whether you're a reveler or a runner, there's going to be something for you to do over St. Patrick's Day weekend here in Butte, America. Not that there's ever a lack of activity in or around March 17, here is a look at some of the things you need to know about heading into the big holiday.

This St. Patrick's Day, Butte Cares is putting on a color run at 3pm at Stodden Park. In addition to being family-friendly and substance-free, the event is perfect for all ages and abilities. There will be a one-mile fun run and also a 5-kilometer run with both courses with park boundaries and both featuring many "color stations" where participants will be sprinkled with bright powder. There will be food, music and many events being hosted by students.

Butte Cares is an organization in Butte that works to support our community, in particular the youth of Butte. Substance use among the youth, as well as the adults in our community, continues to adversely affect our community and families.
