Event details
The Splash of Color 5K is a community run/walk held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Garvin Park (1600 N Main St, Evansville, IN). The event includes these distances:
- 5K Run & Walk
- 1-Mile Family Walk
The 5K uses an out-and-back course on the Pigeon Creek Greenway. The race starts near Bob Griese Pass, follows Reis Ave around the lake toward Pigeon Creek, crosses Richardt Ave onto the Greenway, continues north under Highway 66, and turns around just before Stringtown Road to return the same way. The Family Walk turnaround is at the half-mile point on the Greenway.
A color element is part of the event; participants may be splashed with color. The color dust is described as non-toxic, biodegradable, and not harmful to wildlife or vegetation. Participants can avoid most color by staying to one side of the course. After the event, leaf blowers will be used to disperse excess color dust.
