The after party will be held at the OWA Island, which is also the location for the finish line of the race. The OWA Island is where you will get your OWA Rainbow Run swag bag if you did not pick up your swag bag leading up to the event date.

The powder is comprised of cornstarch with food grade dye, so it is non-toxic, 100% safe and washes away with water. The shirt is given at check in, so guests can decide if they would like to wear it in the run or not. The shirt given is completely white with no powder on it. Suggestions for cleaning are to shake/vacuum/dust off your clothing before washing. After removing as much excess powder as possible, spot clean as needed. We suggest they wash items from the run separate from other clothing in cold water.
