Splash of Color 5K and 1-Mile Family Walk : Evansville
The Splash of Color event at Garvin Park in Evansville includes a timed 5K Run and Walk and a 1-Mile Family Walk. The course is an out-and-back route on the Pigeon Creek Greenway, starting and finishing at Garvin Park by the fountain. The 5K route goes around the lake, crosses Richardt Avenue onto the greenway and returns the same way. The family walk turns around at the half mile mark on the greenway.
- 5K Run & Walk, open to ages 8 and up.
- 1-Mile Family Walk, registration fee covers a family of up to five people.
Proceeds support St. Vincent Early Learning Center and help fund nature exploration programming, including the Trails on a Smaller Scale initiative for toddlers and preschoolers. The event features color stations where participants may be splashed with non-toxic, biodegradable color dust; those who prefer to avoid color can stay to one side of the course. Organizers plan post-event cleanup measures to reduce environmental impact.
Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable. 5K registrations receive a short-sleeved T-shirt; 1-mile registrations may purchase shirts. Awards will be given to the top two male and female 5K finishers in each age bracket 8-12, 13-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-99.
