Color the Quads is a unique race that allows runners and walkers to get blasted with bursts of color powder on the course. Last year’s Color the Quads sold out with 3,300 racers and the field has been expanded for 2014 to raise more money for local charities.

The 2014 Color the Quads event benefits three local organizations, Child Abuse Council, the local chapter of March of Dimes – Mississippi Valley Division and Rick’s House of Hope. The event brings colorful happiness to our community AND helps out local charities.

Mel Foster Co. is the presenting sponsor. The event’s color explosion sponsors include Gomez May LLC, Orthopaedic Specialists, Smart Toyota of Quad Cities, and Vollertsen, Britt & Gorsline P.C.  Color Burst sponsors include Active Endeavors, Hawkeye Paving, KISS FM, Pear Advertising, Quad City Times, Radon Solutions, Terrostar Interactive Media, and TMI Total Maintenance Inc.  The after party is sponsored by Tri-City Electric Co. and the Kid’s Color Dash is sponsored by Eye Surgeons Associates.  The race is still seeking sponsors to help make this race possible.
