5 pm - Join us for Family Night!

5 - 5:30 pm: Enlist in the Manitowoc Guards

5:30 pm: Train for a "Color" War*

5:45 pm: Rules overview

6:00 pm: War!

6:30 pm: dust off

*Wear a white shirt and finish the war plastered in color!  The powder is all certified non-toxic.

How is the color administered along the activity?

Each Manitowoc Guard recruit will receive a bag with colorful powder.  Participants will be split into team, and the main goal is to douse the "enemy" in colorful powder to ensure that you look like you ran through a beautiful rainbow by the time the "war" is over. Some participants opt to wear glasses or goggles for their eyes and use a bandana or dust mask for their mouths.

Will the color ruin clothes or running shoes?

The color does mostly wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colorful. 

How does the color affect the inside of cars?

Most people bring some towels for the insides of their cars, or a change of clothes just in case.
