“A Glorious Burst of Color”: 2026 Graham Color Blast Draws Record Crowd and Community Support
The 2026 Graham Color Blast was a vibrant success as 202 participants and countless spectators filled the event with energy, excitement, and clouds of color flying in every direction. Hosted by Graham Middle School, the annual event continued its incredible growth while raising a total profit of $5,014.88 to help cover costs for student organizations and academic competitions, ensuring students can continue participating at no cost. Special thanks go to event sponsors First Central National Bank, McGuire Farm & Excavating, Pete's Pit Stop, and Rice Transport, Inc., along with the incredible staff, family, and student volunteers who made the event possible.
This year’s event featured outstanding performances across divisions. Defending champion Mr. Callison captured the top male 5K finish, while Grade 6 student Ally Harris earned top female 5K honors. Knox Fogg of Northridge, OH was the top finisher in the Elementary 1-Mile Fun Run. The event showcased not only friendly competition, but also a strong sense of community pride and support for students.
Nick Guidera, principal of Graham Middle School and organizer of the event, shared that the Color Blast has grown tremendously since its beginning in 2019 with just 65 participants in a traditional 5K format. “Now, with more than 200 participants and many more spectators, the Graham Color Blast has become an amazing community event,” Guidera said.
