About the race
The Color Me Green 5K Trail Race is a trail running event at the Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC. The main event is a 5K color run on the center's trails. The event also includes a 1/2 mile kids run and is scheduled alongside the Green River Revival festival. Registration options are listed for pre-registration and day-of entry, with separate pricing for the competitive and recreational 5K divisions and for the kids run.
Packet pick-up is available the Thursday and Friday before the race at local pickup locations. Race shirts are only guaranteed to participants who register on or before March 1, 2027. Event policies include a required assumption of risk waiver, a non-refundable registration policy, and a trail-safety notice that trails remain open to other users; riders of e-bikes and other powered transport are not permitted. Events are planned to proceed rain or shine, and the Whitewater Center may alter, reschedule, or cancel events as needed.
Parking at the center carries a daily fee; oversized vehicles incur a higher fee. The center does not perform trail rescues; participants must contact emergency services if required. Awards are presented by division, including top finishers in competitive and recreational 5K divisions and placements in the kids run.
