Splash of Color 5K : Evansville, IN
Splash of Color is a charity run and family walk hosted in Garvin Park in support of St. Vincent Early Learning Center on June 13, 2026. The event offers a timed 5K race with a walk option and a separate 1 mile family walk. Registration is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Distances
- 5K timed race and walk option
- 1 mile family walk for children and families
The course begins on Bob Griese Pass near North Main Street, follows Reis Avenue around the lake toward Pigeon Creek, crosses Richardt Avenue onto the Pigeon Creek Greenway, continues under Highway 66, and returns along the same route near Stringtown Road. Color stations will splash participants with colored dust that is described as non-toxic, biodegradable, and designed to minimize environmental impact; organizers plan post-event cleanup measures to reduce tracking of color off walkways.
All 5K registrations receive a short-sleeved t-shirt; family-walk registrants may purchase shirts. Packet pickup is available the day before at St. Vincent Early Learning Center and on event day near the registration area at Garvin Park. Awards are given in the 5K to the top two male and female finishers within specified age brackets, and small fun awards are available for young children while supplies last.
Proceeds support early childhood education programs and nature exploration programming at St. Vincent Early Learning Center. Volunteers and sponsors assist with event operations and amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
