Event Overview

The Flying Colors Charity 5K and Fun Run is organized by the PACU Foundation and takes place on June 13, 2026, at Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, North Carolina.

Event Distances

The event includes three different activities:

  • 5k Run (Timed)
  • 1.5 Mile Fun Run/Walk (Untimed)
  • Virtual 5k

Event Features

The event uses safe, food-based color powder that is thrown at participants during the course. Every participant receives an event t-shirt, which becomes colorful by the end of the run. Games, face art, a bubble station, and local food trucks will be present at the event venue.

Registration and Packet Pickup

Packet pickup for those registered by June 1, 2026, is planned at a Piedmont Advantage Credit Union lobby location in Winston-Salem on a to-be-determined date. Those registering after that date or who cannot pick up packets earlier can collect them on event day at the registration table. T-shirt availability for registrations placed after May 15, 2026, is not guaranteed.

Charity Purpose

The PACU Foundation's mission is to support access to financial literacy, education, training, and disaster and emergency assistance for residents facing financial hardship in the Triad and Charlotte communities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
