Event Overview

The I Support the K9s Color Run 5K is a fundraising event organized by The PLEA Foundation. This will be the twelfth edition of the 5K. The event features a color run with multiple color stations along the course.

Course and Location

The course is a 5K distance on a paved path at River Bends Park in Shelby Township. There are six color stations on the path, staffed by volunteers who throw colored powder at participants. The event is based at the Hickory Grove Pavilion at 5700 22 Mile Road. Participants must use the 22 Mile Entrance, as the Hamlin Road entrance does not provide trail access.

Registration and Events

Registration includes a T-shirt, medal, racing bib, and refreshments. Packet pickup is available on the day before the event at an office in Rochester, Michigan. Day-of registration and check-in are available starting at 8:30 AM at the Hickory Grove Pavilion. There are three participant categories:

  • Runner 18+
  • Walker 18+
  • Child 6-17

Post-Race Activities

Following the 5K, there will be refreshments, a photo booth, and opportunities to socialize with vendors and sponsors. A raffle and a 50/50 drawing are also scheduled. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
